Background and purposeTo evaluate the influence of deformable image registration approaches on correspondence model-based 4D dose simulation in extracranial SBRT by means of open source deformable image registration (DIR) frameworks.Material and methodsEstablished DIR algorithms of six different open source DIR frameworks were considered and registration accuracy evaluated using freely available 4D image data. Furthermore, correspondence models (regression-based correlation of external breathing signal measurements and internal structure motion field) were built and model accuracy evaluated. Finally, the DIR algorithms were applied for motion field estimation in radiotherapy planning 4D CT data of five lung and five liver lesion patients, correspondence model formation, and model-based 4D dose simulation. Deviations between the original, statically planned and the 4D-simulated VMAT dose distributions were analyzed and correlated to DIR accuracy differences.ResultsRegistration errors varied among the DIR approaches, with lower DIR accuracy translating into lower correspondence modeling accuracy. Yet, for lung metastases, indices of 4D-simulated dose distributions widely agreed, irrespective of DIR accuracy differences. In contrast, liver metastases 4D dose simulation results strongly vary for the different DIR approaches.ConclusionsEspecially in treatment areas with low image contrast (e.g. the liver), DIR-based 4D dose simulation results strongly depend on the applied DIR algorithm, drawing resulting dose simulations and indices questionable.
