BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Manual delineation of clinical target volumes (CTVs) and organs at risk (OARs) is time-consuming, and automatic contouring tools lack clinical validation. We aimed to construct and validate the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to set better contouring standards for rectal cancer radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected and evaluated computed tomography (CT) scans of 199 rectal cancer patients treated at our hospital from February 2018 to April 2019. Two CNNs-DeepLabv3+ for extr
