A contour-guided deformable image registration algorithm for adaptive radiotherapy.
In adaptive radiotherapy, deformable image registration is often conducted between the planning CT and treatment CT (or cone beam CT) to generate a deformation vector field (DVF) for dose accumulation and contour propagation. The auto-propagated contours on the treatment CT may contain relatively large errors, especially in low-contrast regions. A clinician's inspection and editing of the propa...
متن کاملAccuracy of deformable image registration for contour propagation in adaptive lung radiotherapy
BACKGROUND Deformable image registration (DIR) is an attractive method for automatic propagation of regions of interest (ROIs) in adaptive lung radiotherapy. This study investigates DIR for automatic contour propagation in adaptive Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma patients. METHODS Pre and mid-treatment fan beam 4D-kVCT scans were taken for 17 NSCLC patients. Gross tumour volumes (GTV), nodal-GT...
متن کاملDeformable registration for image-guided radiation therapy.
Ths paper examines several applications of deformable registration algorithms in the field of image-guided radiotherapy. The first part focuses on the description of input and output of deformable registration algorithms, with a brief review of conventional and most current methods. The typical applications of deformable registration are then reviewed on the basis of four practical examples. Th...
متن کاملHow does CT image noise affect 3D deformable image registration for image-guided radiotherapy planning?
PURPOSE To measure the sensitivity of deformable image registration to image noise. Deformable image registration can be used to map organ contours and other treatment planning data from one CT to another. These CT studies can be acquired with either conventional fan-beam CT systems or more novel cone-beam CT techniques. However, cone-beam CT images can have higher noise levels than fan-beam CT...
متن کاملA Deformable Image Registration Algorithm Using NURBS
Non-rigid image registration is an interesting and challenging research work in medical image processing, computer vision and remote sensing fields. In order to increase the registration accuracy, this paper designs a composite registration algorithm of a rigid transform and free form deformation. Because NURBS (Non-uniform Rational B Spline) with a non-uniform grid has a higher registration pr...
