Performance of commercially available deformable image registration platforms for contour propagation using patient‐based computational phantoms: A multi‐institutional study

Abstract

The performances of the systems proved to be site specific, depending on the DVF type and the platforms and the procedures used at the various centers. The pelvis was the most challenging site for most of the algorithms, which failed to achieve sub-voxel accuracy. Improved reproducibility was observed among the centers using the same hybrid registration algorithm.
