Background: Deformable image registration (DIR) is increasingly used in the field of
radiation therapy (RT) to account for anatomical deformations. The aims of this paper are to …

Advances in technical radiotherapy have resulted in significant sparing of organs at risk
(OARs), reducing radiation-related toxicities for patients with cancer of the head and neck …

Background and purpose Advanced lung cancer patients experience anatomical changes
during radiotherapy. Uncorrected, these may lead to lower tumor dose, but can be corrected …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In this paper, we investigate the possibility to use X-ray
based real time 2D/3D registration for non-invasive tumor motion monitoring during …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To validate atlas-based autosegmentation for contouring
breast/anorectal targets. METHODS AND MATERIALS: ABAS uses atlases with defined …

PURPOSE: To evaluate 2 deformable image registration (DIR) algorithms for the purpose of
contour map** to support image-guided adaptive radiation therapy with 4-dimensional …

Purpose The accuracy of deformable image registration tools can vary widely between
imaging modalities and specific implementations of the same algorithms. A biomechanical …

Background Deformable image registration (DIR) is an attractive method for automatic
propagation of regions of interest (ROIs) in adaptive lung radiotherapy. This study …

3-D radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality for breast cancer. In 3-D radiotherapy,
delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) is an essential step in the establishment of …

Background. The survival rates for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may be
improved by dose escalation; however, margin reduction may be required in order to keep …
