Abstract:PurposeThis study aimed to demonstrate the potential clinical applicability of an organ‐contour‐driven auto‐matching algorithm in image‐guided radiotherapy.MethodsThis study included eleven consecutive patients with cervical cancer who underwent radiotherapy in 23 or 25 fractions. Daily and reference magnetic resonance images were converted into mesh models. A weight‐based algorithm was implemented to optimize the distance between the mesh model vertices and surface of the reference model during the positionin… Show more
