Outline of Final Research Achievements

CTV margin in radiation treatment plan is important, but existing radiation treatment planning device could not create CTV margin considering anatomical structure. In the present study, we created software that can generate CTV margin considering the anatomical structure and evaluated its usefulness. As a result, we can show the usefulness of software considering the anatomical structure, and it is expected to be applied also in the clinical field in the future.
