literature or measures irrelevant to monitoring the long-term effects of radiotherapy. In one patient case, artefacts on the CT image prevented reliable measurements: intra-observer variation for this CT image showed an overall SD of 5.5 mm versus <=2.6 mm on all other images. A total of 558 measures were completed correctly by the 7 observers and could be used for inter-observer analysis. Inter-observer variation showed an overall SD of <=2.8mm for all images. 1 measure was excluded due to poor observer agreement, leaving 20 potentially reproducible measures to be described in the atlas (see table).

Conclusion An atlas of 20 craniofacial measures was developed to standardise the assessment craniofacial growth in CCS. Further work will include validation in a larger dataset, including a larger range of ages. The next step will be developing methods to measure asymmetry automatically on routine follow-up images of paediatric cancer patients, using this atlas as a benchmark.

Proton-therapy (PT) has theoretical advantages over conventional photon-based radiotherapy due to the reduced risk of long-term side-effects and second tumors. However, there are few data on the actual toxicity after PT in this setting. In particular, randomized studies and literature reviews addressing this topic are lacking. Therefore, we performed a systematic review on toxicity and outcome after PT in pediatric
