Abstract
On average, only 90% of the MR-defined prostate is included in CT contours, while a volume of normal tissue is erroneously designated as prostate. Lack of awareness of this deficiency in planning and/or operative technique gives a false sense of appreciation of the true conformality, delays implementation of corrective measures, and risks unnecessary side effects.
