Dosimetric equivalence of deep learning prostate contours after LDR brachytherapy: pre-declared margins, patient-level acceptance thresholds and the incremental predictive value of DVH indices
Louis-Bernard St-Cyr, Anne Saint-Laurent, José Angel Lesteiro-Tejeda +7
Background and purpose: Dose Volume Histogram (DVH) indices remain the main dose-effect metrics for toxicity prediction, but they depend on how contours were made. Inter-observer v…
