Abstract:
We successfully implemented an APRT specializing in CBCT-guided online adaptive contouring. These data show statistical improvements in contouring time with APRT-led vs non-APRT led ART contouring, suggesting that an APRT specifically trained to manage the ART process may reduce physician workload and patient treatment time.
