A multi-institution evaluation of deformable image registration algorithms for automatic organ delineation in adaptive head and neck radiotherapy

Abstract Background Adaptive Radiotherapy aims to identify anatomical deviations during a radiotherapy course and modify the treatment plan to maintain treatment objectives.This requires regions of interest (ROIs) to be defined using the most recent imaging data.This study investigates the Hangover Formulas clinical utility of using deformable imag

An intuitive construction of modular flow

Abstract The theory of modular flow has proved extremely useful for applying thermodynamic reasoning to out-of-equilibrium states in quantum field theory.However, the standard proofs of the fundamental theorems of Side Disc modular flow use machinery from Fourier analysis on Banach spaces, and as such are not especially transparent to an audience o
