Definitions of Target Volumes and OARs
• Aim
• To introduce target volume and organ at risk
concepts as defined by ICRU
• Specific Learning Objectives
• Introduce ICRU reports 29/50/62/71/83
• Define volume definitions of ICRU
• GTV, CTV, PTV, OAR, PRV
• Describe margins and how they are determined

ICRU 29
• “Target volume” & uniform
prescription concepts
• “2-D era”
1978
• Single slice (or few)
• External contour
• Coplanar beams
• Simple calculations
• Dose prescription to
“ICRU reference point”
![Page 8: 06 Van Dyk - Definition of Target Volume & Organs at Risk](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061110/545264ddb1af9f72248b4fb7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IAEA
• Specification of volume(s) & dose(s)
• For prescription, recording, reporting
• Purpose
• Consistent treatment policy
• Compare results of treatment - departmental colleagues
• Enable other radiation oncologists to benefit from
department’s experience
• Enable department’s treatment results to be compared
with those of other centers
• Especially multi-centered clinical trials

PTV
• PTV depends on the precision of tools • immobilization devices
• lasers
• PTV does NOT include margin for dosimetric
characteristics beam
• these will require additional margin during
treatment planning and shielding design • penumbral areas
• build-up region

Dose Volumes
• Treated volume - enclosed by an isodose surface
selected by rad. onc. as appropriate to achieve
purpose of treatment
• Irradiated volume - receives a dose that is
significant in relation to normal tissue tolerance

Set-up Margin • Accounts for all uncertainties in patient-beam
positioning
• Technical factors
• Patient immobilization
• Machine stability
Internal Margin
• Takes account of variation in size, shape, and
position of CTV in relation to anatomical
reference points, e.g.,
• Filling of rectum
• Movements due to respiration
• Patient related

3-D vs. IMRT
Implications for target definition
• Concave vs. convex targets
• Target volume quality assurance/peer review
• 3-D beams more readily compared to
“historical beams” 2-D beams
• IMRT beams/plans are less able to be
checked via intuition.
• Dose gradients
• Margins

Convex vs Concave
• Careful definition of the concavity is more
important for IMRT than for 3-D CRT

Reducing Margins
• “Technical” margins can be reduced by
improving daily setup.
• Daily setup verification by EPID, CBCT,
ultrasounds…
• Automatic repositioning of patients by external
systems (eg, ExacTrac®).
• Automatic repositioning with internal fiducials
(eg, Calypso®).
• …
