Automated contouring and planning pipeline for hippocampal-avoidant whole-brain radiotherapy

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) remains an important treatment for over 200,000 cancer patients in the United States annually. Hippocampal-avoidant WBRT (HA-WBRT) reduces neurocognitive toxicity compared to standard WBRT, but HA-WBRT ...
