Deformable Registration in Radiation Oncology

Summary

The DRRO Profile defines the content necessary for exchanging DICOM Deformable Spatial Registration (DSR) objects between radiation oncology systems. In addition to defining the data required to accomplish deformable image registration, it provides requirements on data elements so that DSR objects can be appropriately handled by radiation oncology systems that test to this profile.

Benefits

The DRRO profile allows a single system to calculate the DSR and then share that information with other radiation oncology systems. This improves consistency of image registration and presentation, and facilitates recalculation and addition of dose arrays through the phases of patient treatment.
