| Abstract | Background Training senior radiation therapists as “adapters” to manage influencers and target editing is critical in daily online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) for cervical cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and dosimetric outcomes of automatic contouring and identify the key areas for modification. Methods A total of 125 oART fractions from five postoperative cervical cancer patients and 140 oART fractions from five uterine cervical cancer patients treated with daily iCBCT-guided oART were enrolled in this prospective study. The same adaptive treatments were replanned using the Ethos automatic contours workflow without manual contouring edits. The clinical target volume (CTV) was subdivided into several separate regions, and the average surface distance dice (ASD), centroid deviation, dice similarity coefficient (DSC), and 95% Hausdorff distance (95% HD) were used to evaluate contouring for the above portions. Dosimetric results from automatic oART plans were compared to supervised oART plans to evaluate target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) dose changes. Results Overall, the paired CTV had high overlap rates, with an average DSC value greater than 0.75. The uterus had the largest consistency differences, with ASD, centroid deviation, and 95% HD being 2.67 ± 1.79 mm, 17.17 ± 12 mm, and 10.45 ± 5.68 mm, respectively. The consistency differences of the lower nodal CTVleft and nodal CTVright were relatively large, with ASD, centroid deviation, and 95% HD being 0.59 ± 0.53 mm, 3.6 ± 2.67 mm, and 5.41 ± 4.08 mm, and 0.59 ± 0.51 mm, 3.6 ± 2.54 mm, and 4.7 ± 1.57 mm, respectively. The automatic online-adapted plan met the clinical requirements of dosimetric coverage for the target volume and improved the OAR dosimetry. Conclusions The accuracy of automatic contouring from the Ethos adaptive platform is considered clinically acceptable for cervical cancer, and the uterus, upper vaginal cuff, and lower nodal CTV are the areas that need to be focused on in training. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
