Guideline
Taken from Eekers DBP, Di Perri D, Roelofs E, Postma A, Dijkstra J, Ajithkumar T, et al. Update of the EPTN atlas for CT- and MR-based contouring in Neuro-Oncology. Radiother Oncol 2021;160:259–65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radonc.2021.05.013.
Method
Manual. The lacrimal gland is an almond shaped gland (18 mm craniocaudally, 15 mm axial length and 5 mm axial width) located in the orbit superior-lateral to the eye, superior to the lateral rectus muscle and lateral to the superior rectus muscle. It can be delineated on CT using soft brain 120/40 or soft tissue 350/50 WW/WL settings.
