ASMR 2017

Tools Available – Auto-segmentation

• Attractive due to time saving aspects and support of adaptive RT, but...

• Beware of automaticity!

 “Even with the implementation of AS software in the future, it should be reinforced that manual editing is still a necessity for patient safety.” (Lim and Leech, 2017)

 “atlas-based automatic segmentation tool ... is timesaving but still necessitates review and corrections by an expert” (Daisne and Blumhofer, 2013)

You still need the anatomical knowledge of what is correct!
