PurposeTo evaluate localization accuracy resulting from rigid registration of locally‐advanced lung cancer targets using fully automatic and semi‐automatic protocols for image‐guided radiation therapy.MethodsSeventeen lung cancer patients, fourteen also presenting with involved lymph nodes, received computed tomography (CT) scans once per week throughout treatment under active breathing control. A physician contoured both lung and lymph node targets for all weekly scans. Various automatic and semi‐automatic rigid registration techniques were then performed for both individual and simultaneous alignments of the primary gross tumor volume (GTVP) and involved lymph nodes (GTVLN) to simulate the localization process in image‐guided radiation therapy. Techniques included “standard” (direct registration of weekly images to a planning CT), “seeded” (manual prealignment of targets to guide standard registration), “transitive‐based” (alignment of pretreatment and planning CTs through one or more intermediate images), and “rereferenced” (designation of a new reference image for registration). Localization error (LE) was assessed as the residual centroid and border distances between targets from planning and weekly CTs after registration.ResultsInitial bony alignment resulted in centroid LE of 7.3 ± 5.4 mm and 5.4 ± 3.4 mm for the GTVPand GTVLN, respectively. Compared to bony alignment, transitive‐based and seeded registrations significantly reduced GTVPcentroid LE to 4.7 ± 3.7 mm (p= 0.011) and 4.3 ± 2.5 mm (p< 1 × 10−3), respectively, but the smallest GTVPLE of 2.4 ± 2.1 mm was provided by rereferenced registration (p< 1 × 10−6). Standard registration significantly reduced GTVLNcentroid LE to 3.2 ± 2.5 mm (p< 1 × 10−3) compared to bony alignment, with little additional gain offered by the other registration techniques. For simultaneous target alignment, centroid LE as low as 3.9 ± 2.7 mm and 3.8 ± 2.3 mm were achieved for the GTVPand GTVLN, respectively, using rereferenced registration.ConclusionsTarget shape, volume, and configuration changes during radiation therapy limited the accuracy of standard rigid registration for image‐guided localization in locally‐advanced lung cancer. Significant error reductions were possible using other rigid registration techniques, with LE approaching the lower limit imposed by interfraction target variability throughout treatment.
