Abstract

PURPOSE: Intra- and inter-observer contour uncertainty is a continuous challenge in treatment planning for radiotherapy. Our proposed solution to address this challenge is the use of partial contours for treatment planning, focusing on uninvolved or non-overlapping portions of the organs-at-risk (OARs) with the planning target volume (PTV).
