Conclusions

QA of deformable image registration is complex

Deformable image registrations is unsolved problem;

algorithms lack biological and biomechanical knowledge

Sliding tissue

Tumor growth and regression

This is OK to propagate OAR contours

This is

not OK

for dose accumulation:

it is unsafe to estimate you know where previous dose went

This is

not OK

for adaptation around ‘shrinking’ tumors

I therefore strongly suggest no to optimize dose on top of

‘accumulated’ dose

Data mining gives more insight into organs at risk
