HR Definition

Gross target volume (GTV)

Prostate + extra capsular extension

Prostate + seminal vesicles + extra capsular extension

Clinical target volume (CTV)

CTV = GTV

CTV = GTV

Rectum

The outer wall of the rectum from the cranial border (where the rectum turns horizontally into the sigmoid colon), to the caudal border (defined as 15 mm caudal to the apex of the prostate)

Bladdera

Visible bladder
