Résumé
Kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography (kVCBCT)-guided adaptive radiation therapy (ART) uses daily deformed CT (dCT), which is generated automatically through deformable registration methods. These registration methods may perform poorly in reproducing volumes of the target organ, rectum, and bladder during treatment. We analyzed the registration errors between the daily kVCBCTs and corresponding dCTs for these organs using the default optical flow algorithm and two registration procedures. We validated the effectiveness of these registration methods in replicating the geometry for dose calculation on kVCBCT for ART. We evaluated three deformable image registration (DIR) methods to assess their registration accuracy and dose calculation effeciency in mapping target and critical organs. The DIR methods include (1) default intensity-based deformable registration, (2) hybrid deformable registration, and (3) a two-step deformable registration process. Each technique was applied to a computerized imaging reference system (CIRS) phantom (Model 062 M) and to five patients who received volumetric modulated arc therapy to the prostate. Registration accuracy was assessed using the 95% Hausdorff distance (HD The dCT images generated by the hybrid (dCT The two-step registration method outperforms the intensity-based and hybrid registration methods. While the hybrid and two-step-based methods improved the image quality of kVCBCT in a linear accelerator, only the two-step method improved the registration accuracy of the corresponding structures among the pCT and kVCBCT datasets. A two-step registration process is recommended for applying kVCBCT to ART, which achieves better registration accuracy for local and global image structures. This method appears to be beneficial for radiotherapy dose calculation in patients with pelvic cancer.
