Use of deformable image registration techniques to estimate dose to organs at risk following prostate external beam radiation therapy and high-dose-rate brachytherapy
CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective study demonstrates significant differences in accumulated rectal dose prediction using different image registration methods. Each method has limitations in its application, and when used with real-time HDR-BT dose planning, awareness of these limitations is essential.PMID:34025739 | PMC:PMC8117714 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2021.103589
