Diffusion weighted imaging for gross tumor volume delineation in primary radiochemotherapy and image guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervical cancer
Incorporating DWI into the segmentation workflow reduces inter-observer variability for both expert and resident radiation oncologists. DWI guidance particularly benefits less experienced physicians, enabling them to achieve contours closer to expert consensus standards through additional functional information.
