This study showed that the variability in the contouring was much higher than expected and therefore further work in standardizing the contouring practice in radiosurgery is warranted.
Significant differences in shape, size, and location between the targets included in this study were identified and therefore the clinical implications of these differences should be further investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
