Description

This poster explores the overlap and boundary metrics used to validate and compare Black Bone MRI (BB) contours to those of CT. The aim is to explore whether those metrics agree or not and to explore BB as an alternative to CT in monitoring head and neck cancer patients post-radiation therapy for adverse effects such as ORN.
