• Abstract summary: Traditional or deep learning (DL) based deformable image registration (DIR) can achieve improved results in many situations. We propose a method called test-time optimization (TTO) to refine a pre-trained DL-based DIR population model. Our proposed method is less susceptible to the generalizability problem, and thus can improve overall performance of different DL-based DIR models.

• Abstract: Online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) requires accurate and efficient auto-segmentation of target volumes and organs-at-risk (OARs) in mostly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Propagating expert-drawn contours from the pre-treatment planning CT (pCT) through traditional or deep learning (DL) based deformable image registration (DIR) can achieve improved results in many situations. Typical DL-based DIR models are population based, that is, trained with a dataset for a population of patients, so they may be affected by the generalizability problem. In this paper, we propose a method called test-time optimization (TTO) to refine a pre-trained DL-based DIR population model, first for each individual test patient, and then progressively for each fraction of online ART treatment. Our proposed method is less susceptible to the generalizability problem, and thus can improve overall performance of different DL-based DIR models by improving model accuracy, especially for outliers. Our experiments used data from 239 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to test the proposed method. Firstly, we trained a population model with 200 patients, and then applied TTO to the remaining 39 test patients by refining the trained population model to obtain 39 individualized models. We compared each of the individualized models with the population model in terms of segmentation accuracy. The number of patients with at least 0.05 DSC improvement or 2 mm HD95 improvement by TTO averaged over the 17 selected structures for the state-of-the-art architecture Voxelmorph is 10 out of 39 test patients. The average time for deriving the individualized model using TTO from the pre-trained population model is approximately four minutes. When adapting the individualized model to a later fraction of the same patient, the average time is reduced to about one minute and the accuracy is slightly improved.

  Predictive models for clinical outcomes that are accurate on average in a patient population may underperform drastically for some subpopulations. We identify approaches for model development and selection that consistently improve disaggregated and worst-case performance over subpopulations. We find that, with relatively few exceptions, no approach performs better, for each patient subpopulation examined, than standard learning procedures.
