Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Radiotherapy
Artificial Intelligence

Background:

Deformable image registration (DIR) of 4D-CT images is crucial for radiation therapy.
Accurate and fast registration of abdominal 4D-CT is challenging due to large appearance variations and image sizes.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an accurate and fast multi-scale DIR network (MS-DIRNet) for abdominal 4D-CT registration.
To evaluate the performance of MS-DIRNet against clinically used software.

Main Methods:

Developed MS-DIRNet, a convolutional neural network with attention gates, comprising a generator and discriminator.
Trained MS-DIRNet in an unsupervised manner using image similarity, adversarial, and DVF regularization losses.
Implemented a single forward prediction for DVF calculation, unlike iterative traditional methods.

Main Results:

MS-DIRNet achieved an average Target Registration Error (TRE) of 1.2 ± 0.8 mm.
Outperformed commercial software, which had an average TRE of 2.5 ± 0.8 mm.
Demonstrated superior performance in fiducial marker tracking and soft tissue alignment.

Conclusions:

MS-DIRNet offers a significant advancement in speed and accuracy for abdominal 4D-CT deformable image registration.
The proposed method holds great potential for enhancing various radiation therapy applications.
Unsupervised training and single-pass prediction make MS-DIRNet a practical tool for clinical use.
