Lesson: Tumor Treatment Volumes
Example
In this example, the dark purple area encompasses the parotid gland, one of the normal tissue
OARs (Organs at Risk) for radiation injury. The light purple color is a contour of the spinal cord, a second OAR.
The yellow shading indicates the GTV, again with the GTV consisting of two non-contiguous regions. The red area encompasses the CTV, and the light blue area the PTV.
