A review of segmentation and deformable registration methods applied to adaptive cervical cancer radiation therapy treatment planning

作者：

Highlights：

• This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art segmentation and deformable registration methods applied to cervical cancer adaptive radiation therapy planning.

• Strength and weaknesses of the registration and the segmentation methods are studied and analyzed.

• Use of shape prior constraints can significantly reduce segmentation and registration errors.

• Use of tissue specific classification of tumor may reduce tumor segmentation error.
