Why Is
Accuracy
So Important?
•
OAR delineation has significant impact on dose calculation and
plan quality in dosimetry
•
IMRT and VMAT are inverse planning techniques and as such
are driven by volumes
Target and OAR relationship
•
Accurate imaging ensures:
Decrease in interobserver variability
DVH calculation
Greater confidence in predicting toxicity
“reduction in inter- and intra-observer variability and therefore
unambiguous reporting of possible dose-volume effect relationships”
