Abstract

From a review of literature, the objective of this paper is to define limits for delineation of organs at risk and dose constraints in this latter when radiotherapy is delivered with conventional fractionation or with hypofractionation as for stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Keywords: Delineation; Dose; Délinéation; Organes à risque; Organs at risk; Radiotherapy; Radiothérapie; Stereotactic radiation therapy; Stéréotaxie.
