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 make pretty pictures and 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
