Irradiated Volume and Treated Volume:
IRV and TV
•
IRV
: Defined as the volume receiving a significant dose on
surrounding normal tissues /
Organs At Risk
•
Different from the
treated volume which is meant to be
treated
•
Both depend on the technique used
•
Both can be evaluated on the dosimetry but IRV evaluation is
rather limited by most TPS
➢
Ex: dose estimation outside of the treated field when using non
coplanar beams
