Adaptive radiation therapy aims at compensating anatomical variations during a radiotherapy course by modifying the treatment plan accordingly. Therefore regions of interest (ROIs) have to be defined in the most recent imaging data. We investigated three different non‐rigid image registration algorithms to automatically propagate ROIs from an initial planning CT to a pre‐treatment CT.
