Abstract
In magnetic resonance (MR) only radiotherapy, the target delineation needs to be performed without computed tomography (CT). We investigated in thirteen
patients with prostate cancer, how the clinical target volume (CTV) was affected, when the target delineation procedure was changed from using both CT and MR
images to using MR images only. The mean volume of the CTVCT/MR was 61.0 cm3 as compared to 49.9 cm3 from MR-only based target delineation, corresponding to
an average decrease of 18%. Our results show that CTVMR-only was consistently smaller than CTVCT/MR, which has to be taken into consideration before clinical
commissioning of MR-only radiotherapy.
