Tools and recommendations for commissioning and quality assurance of deformable image registration in radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Multiple tools are available for commissioning and quality assurance of deformable image registration (DIR), each with their own advantages and disadvantages in the context of radiotherapy. The selection of appropriate tools should depend on the DIR application with its corresponding available input, desired output, and time requirement. Discussions were hosted by the ESTRO Physics Workshop 2021 on Commissioning and Quality Assurance for DIR in Radiotherapy. A consensus was reached on what requirements are needed for commissioning and quality assurance for different applications, and what combination of tools is associated with this. For commissioning, we recommend the target registration error of manually annotated anatomical landmarks or the distance-to-agreement of manually delineated c
