Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deformable Image Registration (DIR) is an essential technique required in many applications of radiation oncology. However, conventional DIR approaches typically take several minutes to register one pair of 3D CT images and the resulting deformable vector fields (DVFs) are only specific to the pair of images used, making it less appealing for clinical application.
