Abstract
Radiation therapy (RT) of the lung requires deformation analysis. Deformable image
registration (DIR) is the fundamental method to quantify deformations for various
applications: motion compensation, contour propagation, dose accumulation, etc. DIR
is therefore unavoidable in lung RT. DIR algorithms have been studied for decades
and are now available both within commercial and academic packages. However, they
are complex and have limitations that every user must be aware of before clinical
implementation. In this paper, the main applications of DIR for lung RT with their
associated uncertainties and their limitations are reviewed.
