Abstract

Highlights: Accurate and uniform OAR delineation is essential to gather consistent toxicity data. New OARs were introduced in the 2021 update of EPTN Neurological Contouring Atlas. We developed explanatory movies for the delineation of these OARs. This aims to facilitate the training of delineation professionals. Abstract: Ten new organs at risk (OARs) were recently introduced in the updated European Particle Therapy Network neurological contouring atlas. Despite the use of the illustrated atlas and descriptive text, interindividual contouring variations may persist. To further facilitate the contouring of these OARs, educational films were developed and published on www.cancerdata.org.
