Effect of Deformation Methods on the Accuracy of Deformable Image Registration From Kilovoltage CT to Tomotherapy Megavoltage CT.

CONCLUSIONS:: The choice of deformation method should be considered when applying the deformable image registration from kilovoltage to megavoltage images. The deformable image registration accuracy from kilovoltage to megavoltage revealed a good agreement in terms of intensity-based, volume-based, and deformation field analyses and showed clinically useful methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma adaptive radiotherapy in tomotherapy applications.
