Figure 1
Increasing levels of sophistication in adaptive radiotherapy, ranging from simple IGRT-based replanning (A) to DIR-based dose accumulation and the development of predictive models tied to an outcomes database (B) to online replanning and functional guidance (C). DIR, deformable image registration; IGRT, adaptive image-guided radiotherapy.
