Inter- and intra-fractional anatomical changes during a radiotherapy treatment can cause differences between the initially planned dose and the delivered dose. The total delivered dose can be accumulated over all fractions by using deformable image registration (DIR). However, there is uncertainty in this process which should be accounted for.

The selection of appropriate tools should depend on the DIR application with its corresponding available input, desired output, and time requirement. Discussions were hosted by the ESTRO Physics Workshop 2021 on Commissioning and Quality Assurance for DIR in Radiotherapy.

As a result, activity onsets in many wild diurnal songbirds advance under ALAN. From chronobiological studies, it is known that the direction and strength of the response to light depends on when during the night exposure takes place.
