From rugged ridges to radiotherapy ROIs: Translating topographical metrics to Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy regions of Interest in radiotherapy
Geography-derived metrics quantify ROI surface variation and meet pre-specified feasibility criteria and may help personalise and optimise ROI selection for individual patient anatomy. These results provide a quantitative foundation for ROI design and training; prospective studies are required to link metric thresholds to setup and intrafraction performance.
