Quantifying the dose accumulation uncertainty after deformable image registration in head-and-neck radiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: The uncertainty in accumulated dose using DIR can be accurately quantified and incorporated in dose-volume histograms (DVHs). This method can be used to prospectively assess the adequacy of target coverage during treatment in an objective manner. PMID: 32063377 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
