To evaluate the position and shape of the originally-defined clinical target volume (CTV) over the treatment course, and assess the impact of gross tumor volume (GTV)-based online CT guidance on CTV localization accuracy. Weekly breath hold CT scans were acquired in 17 patients undergoing radiotherapy. Deformable registration was used to propagate the GTV and CTV from the first weekly CT to all other weekly CT images. The on-treatment CT scans were registered rigidly to the planning CT scan based on the GTV location to simulate online guidance, and residual error in the CTV centroids and borders was calculated. The mean GTV volume after five weeks relative to volume at the beginning of treatment was 77% +/− 20%, while for the prescribed CTV it was 92% +/− 10%. The mean absolute residual error magnitude in the CTV centroid position after a GTV-based localization was 2.9 mm +/− 3.0 mm, and varied from 0.3 mm to 20.0 mm over all patients. Residual error of the CTV centroid was associated with GTV volume regression and anisotropy of regression during treatment (p=0.02 and 0.03, Spearman rank correlation). 77% of patients and 50% of fractions had a residual error in CTV border position greater than 2 mm. Of these fractions, residual error of the CTV borders was 3.5 +/− 1.6 mm (LR), 3.1 +/− 0.9 mm (AP), and 6.4 +/− 7.5 mm (SI). Online guidance based on the visible GTV produces substantial error in CTV localization, particularly for highly-regressing tumors. The results of this study will be useful in designing margins for CTV localization or for developing new online CTV localization strategies.
