Application of an automatic segmentation method for evaluating cardiac structure doses received by breast radiotherapy patients

Application of an automatic segmentation method for evaluating cardiac structure doses received by breast radiotherapy patients

Background and purpose: Quantifying radiation dose to cardiac substructures is important for research on the etiology and prevention of complications following radiotherapy; however, segmentation of substructures is challenging. In this study we demonstrate the application of our atlas-based automat...
