Abstract

Delineation of organs at risk is a time-consuming task. This study evaluates the benefits of using single-subject atlas-based automatic segmentation of organs at risk in patients with breast cancer treated in prone position, with 2 different criteria for choosing the atlas subject. Together with laterality (left/right), the criteria used were either (1) breast volume or (2) body mass index and breast cup size.
