在自适应放射治疗中,通常在计划CT和治疗CT(或锥形束CT)之间进行可变形图像配准,以生成用于剂量累积和轮廓传播的变形向量场(DVF)。治疗CT上的自动传播轮廓可能包含相对较大的误差,特别是在低对比度区域。经常需要临床医生检查和编辑传播的轮廓。编辑后的轮廓能够满足适应性治疗的临床要求;但DVF仍然不准确且与编辑后的轮廓不一致。本工作的目的是开发一种轮廓引导的可变形图像配准(CG-100)算法,以提高自适应放射治疗的DVF的准确性和一致性。将编辑的轮廓并入配准算法是通过用描绘的结构集对之间的强度匹配项正则化原始demons算法的目标函数来实现的。通过遵循原始的基于GPU的demons算法计算框架[Gu等人,Phys Med Biol.55(1):207-219,2010],在计算机图形处理单元(GPU)上实现CG-DES算法。CG-ESTA的性能进行了评估的五个临床头颈部和盆腔癌患者的数据。结果表明,与原Demons算法相比,CG-DVF算法在保持原Demons算法较高计算效率的同时,提高了DVF算法的精度和一致性.
英文摘要:
In adaptive radiotherapy, deformable image registration is often conducted between the planning CT and treatment CT (or cone beam CT) to generate a deformation vector field (DVF) for dose accumulation and contour propagation. The auto propagated contours on the treatment CT may contain relatively large errors, especially in low contrast regions. A clinician inspection and editing of the propagated contours are frequently needed. The edited contours are able to meet the clinical requirement for adaptive therapy; however, the DVF is still inaccurate and inconsistent with the edited contours. The purpose of this work is to develop a contour-guided deformable image registration (CG-DIR) algorithm to improve the accuracy and consistency of the DVF for adaptive radiotherapy. Incorporation of the edited contours into the registration algorithm is realized by regularizing the objective function of the original demons algorithm with a term of intensity matching between the delineated structures set pairs. The CG-DIR algorithm is implemented on computer graphics processing units (GPUs) by following the original GPU-based demons algorithm computation framework [Gu et al, Phys Med Biol. 55(1): 207-219, 2010]. The performance of CG-DIR is evaluated on five clinical head-and-neck and one pelvic cancer patient data. It is found that compared with the original demons, CG-DIR improves the accuracy and consistency of the DVF, while retaining similar high computational efficiency.
