Phantom-based validation
Kirby et al Med Phys 40(1) (2013) [
http://dx.doi.org/10.1118/1.4769114]There is no way to determine if the
deformation is physically sound simply by
visual assessment.
Visual inspection, image similarity measures,
and contour matching are poor predictors of
dose fusion error.
All tested algorithms but two have produced
errors ≥ 3 mm for at least 5% of the pixels.
The maximum error that occupies 1 cm

varies
from 8 to 20 mm.
