IBT | Lateral boundaries of cervix | To review upper extent of disease on MR at diagnosis and Pre BT MR with respect to landmark anatomical structures eg. Uterine arteries, isthmus, distances from the surface of fundus etc. and extrapolate on CT at BT* * may not be applicable in enlarged uterine cavity due to fluid collection. |
Lower extent of cervical lip with vaginal applicator as surrogate | Outer surface of the cervix &/or uterus guided by Pre BT MR dimensions | Outer surface of the cervix &/or uterus guided by Pre BT MR dimensions |
IIBT | Proximal parametrium defined by clinical/TRUS based NMD’s (if available) and guided by NMD’s on Pre-BT MR including gray zones | Review Pre-BT MR and include appropriate length of vaginal wall defined by clinical examination, with /without guidance of markers implanted and the Pre BT MR findings, with few mm safety margins longitudinal and circumferential. | |||
