| الوصف: | Abstract Objective Anatomical variations existing in cervical cancer radiotherapy treatment can be monitored by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Deformable image registration (DIR) from planning CT (pCT) to CBCT images and synthetic CT (sCT) image generation based on CBCT are two methods for improving the quality of CBCT images. This study aims to compare the accuracy of these two approaches geometrically and dosimetrically in cervical cancer radiotherapy. Methods In this study, 40 paired pCT-CBCT images were collected to evaluate the accuracy of DIR and sCT generation. The DIR method was based on a 3D multistage registration network that was trained with 150 paired pCT-CBCT images, and the sCT generation method was performed based on a 2D cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) with 6000 paired pCT-CBCT slices for training. Then, the doses were recalculated with the CBCT, pCT, deformed pCT (dpCT) and sCT images by a GPU-based Monte Carlo dose code, ArcherQA, to obtain DoseCBCT, DosepCT, DosedpCT and DosesCT. Organs at risk (OARs) included small intestine, rectum, bladder, spinal cord, femoral heads and bone marrow, CBCT and pCT contours were delineated manually, dpCT contours were propagated through deformation vector fields, sCT contours were auto-segmented and corrected manually. Results The global gamma pass rate of DosesCT and DosedpCT was 99.66% ± 0.34%, while that of DoseCBCT and DosedpCT was 85.92% ± 7.56% at the 1%/1 mm criterion and a low-dose threshold of 10%. Based on DosedpCT as uniform dose distribution, there were comparable errors in femoral heads and bone marrow for the dpCT and sCT contours compared with CBCT contours, while sCT contours had lower errors in small intestine, rectum, bladder and spinal cord, especially for those with large volume difference of pCT and CBCT. Conclusions For cervical cancer radiotherapy, the DIR method and sCT generation could produce similar precise dose distributions, but sCT contours had higher accuracy when the difference in planning CT and CBCT was large. |
