Comparison of a simple dose-guided intervention technique for prostate radiotherapy with existing anatomical image guidance methods.

Abstract

Used in conjunction with soft-tissue-based corrective couch shifts, the dosimetric overlay technique allows effective filtering out of dosimetrically unnecessary interventions, making it more likely that any intervention made will result in improved target volume coverage.
