Structure-based deformable image registration: Added value for dose accumulation of external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy in cervical cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: The UD method provides a better estimate of D2cm3/D1cm3 than the OHD method. There is no added value of DIR since differences with direct addition methods are clinically insignificant. EBRT dose distributions can be considered uniform in bladder and rectum for the evaluated dose parameters. PMID: 28372889 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
