Developing and validating a simple urethra surrogate model to facilitate dosimetric analysis to predict genitourinary toxicity

Purpose: The urethra is a critical structure in prostate radiotherapy planning; however, it is impossible to visualise on CT. We developed a surrogate urethra model (SUM) for CT-only planning workflow and tested its geometric and dosimetric performance against the MRI-delineated urethra (MDU). Metho...
