Tools Available – Auto-segmentation
•
Attractive due to time saving aspects and support of adaptive
RT, but...

Beware of automaticity!
“Even with the implementation of AS software in the future, it should
be reinforced that manual editing is still a necessity for patient

“atlas-based automatic segmentation tool ... is timesaving but still
necessitates review and corrections by an expert”
(Daisne and Blumhofer,
2013)
You still need the anatomical knowledge of what is correct!
