Dosimetric impact of deformable image registration using radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeters with a physical geometric phantom.

The dose difference observed in our study was 3% for tumor-proxy and within 5% for rectum-proxy. The custom developed physical phantom with inserts showed potential for accurate evaluation of DIR-based dose accumulation. The prospect of simultaneous evaluation of geometric and dosimetric DIR accuracy in a single phantom may be useful for validation of DIR for clinical use.
