Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiotherapy
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Accurate auto-propagation of anatomical regions of interest (ROIs) from planning CT to daily CT scans is crucial for image-guided adaptive radiotherapy.
  • Deformable registration algorithms are essential for mapping ROIs between scans with changing patient anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively evaluate the performance of an auto-propagation algorithm for anatomical ROIs in clinical radiotherapy applications.
  • To assess the accuracy of mapping ROIs from planning CT scans to daily CT and 4D CT scans.

Main Methods:

  • An image intensity-based deformable registration algorithm was used to map ROIs from planning CT to daily CT/4D CT scans.
  • Postprocessing techniques, including boundary smoothing, were applied to improve algorithm robustness.
  • Evaluated auto-propagated contours against physician-drawn and physician-modified contours using volume overlap index and mean absolute surface-to-surface distance in head-and-neck, prostate, and lung cancer patients.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm demonstrated reasonable matching of deformed contours to daily anatomy on repeat CT scans (83% volume overlap, 1.3 mm mean absolute surface-to-surface distance).
  • Physician correction of auto-propagated contours significantly improved agreement (>97% overlap, <0.4 mm distance).
  • The algorithm showed robustness against random image noise.

Conclusions:

  • The deformable registration algorithm is a potentially effective method for propagating planning ROIs to subsequent CT images with altered anatomy.
  • Final physician review of auto-propagated contours is highly recommended for optimal accuracy in adaptive radiotherapy.
