Abstract

This study evaluates edited/reviewed automatically-segmented structures of the breast target in patients planned in prone position and their dose/volume effects. Contouring times were reduced using automatic-segmentation. Similarity-indexes and pendulousness showed that targets with Dice values over 0.965 and high pendulousness, presented the best dosimetric results.
