Analyzing human decisions in IGRT of head-and-neck cancer patients to teach image registration algorithms what experts know

Abstract Background In IGRT of deformable head-and-neck anatomy, patient setup corrections are derived by rigid registration methods. In practice, experienced radiation therapists often correct the resulting vectors, thus indicating a different prioritization of alignment of local structures. Purpos...
