Assessment and improvement of radiation oncology trainee contouring ability utilizing consensus‐based penalty metrics

The objective of this study was to develop and assess the feasibility of utilizing consensus‐based penalty metrics for the purpose of critical structure and organ at risk (OAR) contouring quality assurance and improvement.
