Abstract

Previous work on auto-contour dose evaluation has used both manual [1] and automated [2,3] techniques, however with small (~20) test patient cohorts. This is due to extensive manual effort required for additional contour refinement and treatment planning on the auto-contours. Moreover, automated planning techniques, if not already clinically implemented, are difficult to adopt. Our primary goal is to investigate the dosimetric effect of auto-contouring for proton radiotherapy using a large-scale cohort of patients. A secondary goal is to develop and evaluate a workflow that is both automated and uses existing plan parameters, hence enabling evaluation for a large patient cohort.
