A MULTI-INSTITUTION EVALUATION OF DEFORMABLE IMAGE REGISTRATION ALGORITHMS FOR AUTOMATIC ORGAN DELINEATION IN ADAPTIVE HEAD AND NECK RADIOTHERAPY

A multi-institution evaluation of deformable image registration algorithms for automatic organ delineation in adaptive head and neck radiotherapy

Abstract Background Adaptive Radiotherapy aims to identify anatomical deviations during a radiotherapy course and modify the treatment plan to maintain treatment objectives.This requires regions of interest (ROIs) to be defined using the most recent imaging data.This study investigates the clinical utility of using deformable image registration (DI
