Deep Esophageal Clinical Target Volume Delineation using Encoded 3D Spatial Context of Tumors, Lymph Nodes, and Organs At Risk [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Clinical target volume (CTV) delineation from radiotherapy computed tomography (RTCT) images is used to define the treatment areas containing the gross tumor volume (GTV) and/or sub-clinical malignant disease for radiotherapy (RT). High intra- and inter-user variability makes this a particularly difficult task for esophageal cancer.
