چکیده

Purpose/Objective(s): Conventional deformable registration treats all image volume equally and the calculations are “brute-force” in nature. In reality, some regions can be mapped between the moving and fixed images with higher confidence than others. In this work we investigate a strategy of using a priori knowledge of the system to reduce the dimensionality of the deformable image registration problem and to speed up the registration calculation.

Evaluation of deformable image registration in HDR gynecological brachytherapy

Introduction: In brachytherapy, as in external radiotherapy, image-guidance plays an important role. For GYN treatments it is standard to acquire at least CT images and preferably MR images prior to each treatment and to calculate the dose of the day on each set of images. Then, the dose to the target and to the organs at risk (OAR) is calculated with worst case scenario from I...
