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...
متن کاملA 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 کاملUse of Deformable Image Registration for Radiotherapy Applications
In recent year, Deformable Image Registration (DIR) has become commercially available in the field of radiotherapy. DIR is an exciting and interesting technology for multi-modality image fusion, anatomic image segmentation, Four-dimensional (4D) dose accumulation and lung functional (ventilation) imaging. Furthermore, DIR is playing an important role in modern radiotherapy included Image-Guided...
متن کاملTools for Deformable Image Registration
Medical imaging sensors can be used to noninvasively probe tissue morphology and monitor material deformations associated with growth, disease, or normal physiology. Deformable image registration provides a framework for extracting and quantifying this information. Image registration is, however, an inherently ill-posed inverse problem. The research in this dissertation investigates techniques ...
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...
