2. What is your topic idea? What is the problem you can solve?
The topic is Hippocampal Sparing in PCI patients and the problem is that contouring of
the hippocampus by credentialed dosimetric planners varies widely from the true
hippocampus due to disparate techniques and lack of anatomical knowledge.
5. Is the variance in hippocampal delineation limited to institution, and if not, how does it
vary?
We are interested in pursuing and experimental/quantitative design for our research. We plan on
using a control study as a base line to compare our data. We also plan on having groups that can
be divided by professional title and institution. Data will be collected from these groups pre and
post technique (atlas) introduction.
