Abstract

This paper presents a deformable image registration-based method for the quality assurance of head and neck adaptive radiotherapy using digitally post-processed anthropomorphic phantom image datasets. One of the main findings of this work is that spatial and dose errors are a function of the magnitude of the deformation and of the gradient of the dose distribution. This emphasizes the importance of performing patient-specific deformable image registration verification and, consequently, the need to develop and make available tools that are for this purpose.
