The report of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group No. 132 published in 2017 reviewed rigid image registration and deformable image registration (DIR) approaches and solutions to provide recommendations for quality assurance and quality control of clinical image registration and fusion techniques in radiotherapy. However, that report did not include the use of DIR for advanced applications such as dose warping or warping of other matrices of interest. Considering that DIR warping tools are now readily available, discussions were hosted by the Medical Image Registration Special Interest Group (MIRSIG) of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists & Engineers in Medicine in 2018 to form a consensus on best practice guidelines. This position statement authored by MIRSIG endorses the recommendations of the report of AAPM task group 132 and expands on the best practice advice from the 'Deforming to Best Practice' MIRSIG publication to provide guidelines on the use of DIR for advanced applications.
2017 年发布的美国医学物理学家协会（AAPM）第 132 工作组报告审查了刚性图像配准和变形图像配准（DIR）方法和解决方案，为放射治疗中临床图像配准和融合技术的质量保证和质量控制提供了建议。然而，该报告并未包括 DIR 在高级应用中的使用，例如剂量弯曲或其他感兴趣矩阵的弯曲。考虑到 DIR 弯曲工具现在已经很容易获得，2018 年澳大利亚物理科学家和工程师在医学领域的医学图像注册特别兴趣小组（MIRSIG）组织了讨论，以就最佳实践指南达成共识。这份由 MIRSIG 撰写的立场声明认可了 AAPM 第 132 工作组报告的建议，并扩展了来自“变形以达到最佳实践”MIRSIG 出版物的最佳实践建议，为 DIR 在高级应用中的使用提供了指南。
