Daily Contouring cases
“How would you contour for this patient?” is a question we’ll be asking for the Contouring Case of the Day each day of the ASTRO Annual Meeting. A case will be posted with a case description, possible treatment plan, image series and the question “How would you contour for this patient?” Attendees will have the opportunity to review the case and weigh in on how they would contour. The case will highlight challenges in contouring and will also feature resources on contouring, including guidelines and helpful hints that would assist in contouring similar cases.
Following each day’s Contouring Case of the Day, expert commentary will be given by the faculty for the case on how they contoured this patient. For some cases, there may not be one right answer, and experts will provide alternating opinions with rationale on how they would contour the case.
Check the Annual Meeting Portal each day to review the Case of the Day.
