On the trail of CBCT-guided adaptive rectal boost radiotherapy, does daily delineation require a radiation oncologist?
Expert ROs showed consistent results. Other professional groups exhibit similar variability, comparable to the automatic oART volume. Therefore, RTTs could safely perform the rectal boost delineation without non-expert ROs supervision in the absence of expert ROs during CBCT-based oART. Moreover, these findings provide quantitative data to compute accurate margins for the rectal boost planning target volume in a CBCT-guided oART workflow.
