ABSTRACT
The introduction of adaptive image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in the radiotherapy environment has contributed to the rapid accumulation of medical image data, often making it difficult to consolidate information on a single patient. For oncology patients, the lack of data integration can negatively impact on patient care. We propose a multimodality image registration framework (MIRF) for radiotherapy plans to be registered automatically with longitudinal follow-up images. Volume visualization is proved to display changes in serial medical images, and transformed dose distribution and mesh models of radiotherapy targets can be superimposed on these successive images.
