The focus of this work is on the analysis of observer-related reasons while controlling for other variables. Methods: In three consecutive patients, eighteen physicians from fourteen different departments delineated the GTV and M in CT-slices using a detailed instruction for target delineation. Differences in the volumes, the delineated anatomic lymph node compartments and differences in every delineated pixel of the contoured volumes in the CT-slices (pixel-by-pixel-analysis) were evaluated for different groups: ten radiation oncologists from ten departments (ROs), four haematologic oncologists and chest physicians from four departments (HOs) and five radiation oncologists from one department (RO1D). Results: Agreement (overlap >= 70% of the contoured pixels) for the GTV and PTV delineation was found in 16.3% and 23.7% (ROs), 30.4% and 38.6% (HOs) and 32.8% and 35.9% (RO1D), respectively. Conclusion: A large interobserver variability in the PTV and much more in the GTV delineation were observed in spite of a detailed instruction for delineation. The variability was smallest for group RO1D where due to repeated discussions and uniform teaching a better agreement was achieved. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
