Abstract
Image information regarding a particular patient is provided, which image information includes, at least in part, a tumor to be irradiated. These teachings can also include providing non-image clinical information that corresponds to the particular patient. A control circuit accesses the foregoing image information and non-image clinical information and automatically generates a clinical target volume that is larger than the tumor as a function of both the image information and the non-image clinical information. The control circuit can then generate a corresponding radiation treatment plan based upon that clinical target volume, which plan can be utilized to irradiate the clinical target volume.
