Background and Objective: One of the main steps in the planning of radiotherapy (RT) is the segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) in Computed Tomography (CT). The esophagus is one of the most difficult OARs to segment. The boundaries between the esophagus and other surrounding tissues are not well-defined, and it is presented in several slices of the CT.
