Contouring Collaborative for Consensus in Radiation Oncology (C3RO): An International Crowdsourcing Challenge to Improve Radiotherapy Contour Delineation

Contour variation has been correlated with inferior disease control and increased toxicity.1 While automated algorithms could decrease variability and improve quality, development has been limited by the availability of large multi-segmented datasets.2 This project aims to conduct a crowdsourced challenge informed by behavioral economics to engage radiation oncologists worldwide in cloud-based contouring. We hypothesize that recruitment strategies and incentives will vary by practice setting. We hypothesize that, among physicians, high volume and specialization will be associated with greater similarity to the consensus contour.
