define the volumes that must be considered when
planning a course of radiation treatment. Starting
from the smallest to the largest volume list
Consist of gross demonstrable tumor, including Gross tumor volume (GTV)
primary mass, and metastasis and
lymphadenopathy. Determined by visual or
palpable assessment and through diagnostic
imaging
Includes the demonstrable tumor and any area of Clinical target volume (CTV)
presumed malignancy. Represents the true extent
of the tumor location; no other cancerous cells
are identified or presumed to be outside this
volume
Compensates for any changes to the CTV during Internal target volume (ITV)
therapy due to physiologic movement and
variations in target position, shape, and size. This
volume includes the CTV and an internal margin
built into the plan
Includes the CTV and margins accounting for Planning target volume (PTV)
geometric uncertainties in treatment setup, beam
quality and consistency, and patient movement.
This volume also must represent the organs at risk,
emphasizing the need to minimize doses to these
areas.
Represents the minimum target dose that treated volume
adequately covers the PTV. Includes an additional
margin to cover limitations of the treatment
