Evaluation of high dose volumetric CT to reduce inter-observer delineation variability and PTV margins for prostate cancer radiotherapy

The aim was to determine whether the enhanced soft tissue contrast provided by high-dose volumetric CT (HDVCT) can reduce inter-observer variability in delineating prostate compared to helical conventional CT (CCT) scans and 3T MRI scans for patients undergoing radical prostate cancer radiotherapy. Secondly, to quantify the potential PTV reduction with decreased inter-observer variability.
