Abstract
Among those geometric parameters of HR-CTV, width was significantly overestimated on CT compared with MRI. Height might be underestimated, and thickness was comparable. The dose parameters for HR-CTV were lower on CT only-based technique compared with MRI-based one. It is proposed that at least one pre- or at brachytherapy MRI is required to assess the tumor extension. With the help of MRI information, CT contouring will be much more accurate in cervical cancer brachytherapy.
