Performance of an atlas-based autosegmentation software for delineation of target volumes for radiotherapy of breast and anorectal cancer

ABAS produced satisfactory results for these clinical target volumes that are defined by more complex tissue interface geometry, thus streamlining and facilitating the radiotherapy workflow which is essential to face increasing demand and limited resources. STAPLE improved contouring outcome. Small target volumes not clearly defined are still to be delineated manually. Based on these results, ABAS has been clinically introduced for precontouring of CTVs/OARs.
