1 TG 132: Use of Image Registration and Fusion in RT Kristy K Brock, PhD, DABR, FAAPM Associate Professor Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Michigan Chair, AAPM TG 132: Image Registration and Fusion

2 Acknowledgements & Conflict of Interest AAPM Task Group 132 Members I have a licensing agreement for deformable image registration technology with RaySearch Laboratories.

3 Objectives 1. Describe how (deformable) image registration algorithms work? 2. Describe techniques to commission and validate image registration in the clinic (TG 132 recommendations) 3. Illustrate the concepts with clinical examples.

4 Techniques

5 How do they work? Match something Intensity, gradients, boundaries, features Constrain by a function Geometric, physical, biomechanical

6 How do they work? Match something Intensity, gradients, boundaries, features What happens when the intensity correspondence varies? What happens when the gradient isn t there? What happens when the boundaries aren t well defined? What happens with the features aren t visible? Constrain by a function Geometric, physical, biomechanical Can you rely on this model when the match above is missing?

7 Why? Many Image Registration Techniques Metric Transformation Optimization Your Eye Translation Brain-power Least Squares (Points) Translation + Rotation Simplex Chamfer Matching (surface matching) Contour matching Affine (Translation + Rotation + scaling + shearing) Mean Square Difference Spline (B-spline, Thin Good for same plate modality spline) (x-ray), different Correlation Coefficient contrast/noise Physical (CECT, (optical/fluid CT, CBCT) Works flow, for elastic Multi-body) Mutual Information Quick, Easy, local Surface-based Manual or autosegmentation Great for 4D CT Modality Biomechanical Gradient descent etc

8 Top 3 Similarity Metrics Sum of the Square Differences Mutual Information Contour Propagation

9 Kessler / UM Sum of Squared Differences subtract one image from the other CT 2 - CT 1 = Difference Image I I (I -I ) 2 CT 2 CT 1 CT 2 CT 1 Individual Intensity Distributions Sum of the Squares of the Differences

10 Kessler / UM Sum of Squared Differences subtract one image from the other CT - MR = Difference Image I CT I MR Individual Intensity Distributions Not Zero This doesn t usually make much sense

11 Mutual Information Maximise the mutual information Marginal Entropies Joint Entropy Mutual Information, I(A,B) H(A) H(B) H(A,B) Sensitivity of results: Vary the vector field and evaluate the change in similarity metric Hub, et. al., IEEE TMI 2009

12 How Reliable is the Max MI? Actually, min -MI -MI -MI dx Min MI Best Solution dx Min MI Best Solution

13 Intensity Variation: Impact on CC/MSD Clear intensity variation No relevant intensity variation, noise/artifact

14 Contour Matching

15 Top 3 Regularizers Thin Plate Splines & B-Splines Weighted basis splines Flow/Optical Gradient driven with regularization Elastic/Biomechanical Material properties: compressibility and stiffness

16 Kessler / UM Thin-Plate Splines Liver Bladder n å i=1 T(P) = a 0 + a x x + a y y + a z z + w i U(P - P i ) affine warping

17 Kessler / UM B-Splines Transformation is built up using a set of weighted basis splines DX weighted sum w 1 w 2 w 3 w 4 knots k 1 k 2 k 3 k 4 X X = X + DX = X + w i b(x-k i )

18 Kessler / UM B-Splines Transformation is built up using a set of weighted basis splines DX w 1 w 3 w 4 weighted sum w 2 knots k 1 k 2 k 3 k 4 X X = X + DX = X + w i b(x-k i )

19 Kessler / UM B-Splines Basis function has finite range X = X + DX = X + w i b(x-k i )

30 Commissioning and QA Understand the whole picture Phantom approach to understand characteristics of Understand algorithm fundamental implementation components of algorithm

31 Perform end-to-end tests of imaging, registration, and planning/treatment systems if image registration is performed on a stand-alone system How? Any simple phantom or solid water Why? It s already mandated

32 Validation Tests and Frequencies Frequency Quality Metric Tolerance Acceptance and Commissioning Annual or Upon Upgrade System end-to-end tests Data Transfer using physics phantom Rigid Registration Accuracy (Digital Phantoms, subset) Deformable Registration Accuracy (Digital Phantoms, subset) Example clinical patient case verification Accurate Baseline Baseline Baseline

33 Why Virtual Phantoms Known attributes (volumes, offsets, deformations, etc.) Testing standardization we all are using the same data Geometric phantoms quantitative validation Anthropomorphic realistic and quantitative

34 Rigid Geometric Data Helps us to learn the impact of the knobs of the registration Validation of most straightforward case Similar to 20x20 field profile * Phantom Data Courtesy of ImSim QA

35 Example Commissioning Tests [mm]

36 Rigid Anatomical Phantom Multi-Modality Translation Offset 1 additional (simple) layer of complexity

37 Deformable Phantom Commissioning Procedure: Run Deformable Image Registration Export DICOM Deformation Vector Field (DVF) Pseudo code provided to compare known DVF with exported DVF Target: 95% of voxels within 2 mm, max error less than 5 mm

40 Commissioning and QA Understand the whole picture Phantom approach to understand characteristics of Understand algorithm fundamental Quantitative implementation components of Validation of algorithm Clinical Images

41 What Tools Do we Have? Visual Verification: Excellent tool for established techniques. Not enough for commissioning!

42 Quantitative Validation Techniques Landmark Based Does the registration map a landmark on Image A to the correct position on Image B? Target Registration Error (TRE) Contour Based Does the registration map the contours onto the new image correctly? Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) Mean Distance to Agreement (MDA) Digital/Physical Phantoms Compare known motion with registration results

43 Landmark Based (TRE) A B A TRE CT: 512x512x152; 0.09 cm in plane, 0.25 cm slice; GE scanner; 4D CT with Varian RPM Reproducibility of point identification is sub-voxel Gross errors Quantification of local accuracy within the target Increasing the number increases the overall volume quantification Manual technique Can identify max errors

44 That sounds great! Is that enough?

45 Accuracy of Points 1 cm X X X RMS = 0.3 mm

46 Points Don t Tell the Whole Story 1 cm X X X

47 Inhale Accuracy of Contours Modeled Exhale Algorithm 1 Error 102 Bronchial Bifs TRE: 8.0 mm DSC > 0.9 Algorithm 2 TRE: 3.7 mm Actual Exhale DSC > 0.9 Modeled Exhale

48 Commissioning and QA Understand the whole picture Phantom approach to understand characteristics of Understand algorithm fundamental Quantitative implementation components of Validation of Documentation algorithm Clinical Images and Evaluation in Clinical Environment

49 Request Clear identification of the image set(s) to be registered Identification of the primary (e.g. reference) image geometry An understanding of the local region(s) of importance The intended use of the result Target delineation Techniques to use (deformable or rigid) The accuracy required for the final use

50 Report Identify actual images used Indicate the accuracy of registration for local regions of importance and anatomical landmarks Identify any critical inaccuracies to alert the user Verify acceptable tolerances for use Techniques used to perform registration Fused images in report with annotations Documentation from system used for fusion

51 Clinical Example CT no contrast DIR for Multi-Modality Planning Accuracy required: voxel level Uncertainties create a systematic error that propagates throughout the treatment? MRI with contrast

52 Accounting for Uncertainties in Registration Prior to Deformable Registration CT MR coronal sagittal Before After Deformable Registration

53 Accounting for Uncertainties in Prior to Deformable Registration CT Registration MR X Assess uncertainty around GTV GTV (defined on MR, mapped to CT for Tx) Add margin around GTV definition to account for uncertainty when required Region of CT-defined GTV that is missed

54 Clinical Impact of Dose Accumulation Dose Accumulation INH EXH Tx Velec, IJROBP patients 70% of patients have acc dose deviations ( 5%) from the static plan Swaminath, IJROBP, in press 81 patients, 142 liver mets accgtv dose is a better predictor of TTLP compared to minptv dose for liver metastases SBRT

55 Establish a patient specific QA practice for efficient evaluation of image registration results Why? At this point we are still understanding how the the registration is performing on different types of patients How? Visual Verification Spot checks of landmarks Boundary comparison

56 Vendor Recommendations 1. Disclose basic components of their registration algorithm to ensure its proper use 2. Provide the ability to export the registration matrix or deformation vector field for validation 3. Provide tools to qualitatively evaluate the image registration 4. Provide the ability to identify landmarks on 2 images and calculate the TRE from the registration 5. Provide the ability to calculate the DSC and MDA between the contours defined on an image and the contours mapped to the image via image registration 6. Support the integration of a request and report system for image registration

57 TG-132 Product Guidelines for understating of clinical tools Digital (virtual) phantoms Recommendations for commissioning and clinical implementation Recommendations for periodic and patient specific QA/QC Recommendations for clinical processes

58 Summary Deformable registration is a powerful tool that can help us to integrate multi-modality images, understand motion and anatomical changes, and compute an improved estimate of the delivered dose With power comes responsibility we must commission the system prior to use, understand the limitations, and communicate its proper use to clinicians, dosimetrists, therapists, and others TG 132 can help to provide tools, but the individuality of clinical workflows requires individual tests
