| Abstract | In areas like adaptive therapy, multi-phase radiotherapy, and single fraction palliative treatment or in the treatment of patients with metal implants where megavoltage(MV) CT could be considered as a treatment planning modality, the reduced contrast in the MV CT images could lead to limited accuracy in localization of the structures. This would affect the precision of the treatment. In this study, as an extension our previous work on bespoke MV cone beam CT (MV CBCT), we propose to register the MV CBCT with kilovoltage (kV) CT for treatment planning. The MV CBCT images registered with kV CT would be effective for treatment planning as it would account for the inadequate soft tissue information in the MV CBCT and would allow comparison of changes in patient dimensions and assist in localization of the structures. The intensity based registration algorithm of the BrainSCAN therapy planning software was used for image registration of the MV CBCT and kV CT images. The accuracy of the registration was validated using qualitative and quantitative measures. The effect of image quality on the level of agreement between the contouring done on both the MV CBCT and kV CT was assessed by comparing the volumes of six structures delineated. To assess the level of agreement between the plans after the registration, two independent plans were generated on the MV CBCT and the planning CT using the posterior fossa of the skull as the target. The dose volume histograms and conformity indices of the plans were compared. The results of this study show that treatment planning with MV CBCT images would be effective, using additional anatomical structure information derived from registering the MV CBCT image with a standard kVCT. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
