Generated Narrative: CodeSystem rt-target-volume-cs

This case-sensitive code system https://nshr-uat.sha.go.ke/fhir/CodeSystem/rt-target-volume-cs defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
GTV GTV — Gross Tumour VolumeMacroscopic extent of tumour visible on imaging.
CTV CTV — Clinical Target VolumeGTV plus margin for subclinical microscopic disease.
ITV ITV — Internal Target VolumeCTV plus internal margin for organ motion.
PTV PTV — Planning Target VolumeITV plus set-up margin for treatment delivery uncertainty.
OAR OAR — Organ at RiskNormal tissue structure whose radiation tolerance limits the prescribed dose.
PRV PRV — Planning Risk VolumeOAR plus margin for positioning uncertainty.
RVR RVR — Remaining Volume at RiskVolume outside GTV/CTV that receives dose.
BOOST Boost VolumeSub-volume receiving a higher dose than the main treatment.
