The difference of High-risk Clinical Target Volumes (HR-CTV) between Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cervical Cancer.
Keywords:
cervix cancer, brachytherapy, target volume comparisonAbstract
Purpose: This study was carried out to evaluate the volume and dose of HR-CTV between CT and MRI in intracavitary brachytherapy of cervical cancer. Materials and methods: Retrospective data from the MRI and CT imaging of the fi rst application of fi fteen patients with locally advanced carcinoma of cervix uteri were collected and evaluated in terms of volume-based concepts. The volume and D90 of HR-CTV of MRI was compared with the HR-CTV of CT with the concepts of the Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie - European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (GEC-ESTRO). Results: No statistical signifi cance between the MRI and CT of HR-CTV was observed. Conclusion: The volumes of HR-CTV of MRI versus CT were not statistically signifi cant although the MRI yielded good tumor identifi cation.
