The accumulated dose from sequential treatments of metachronous non-melanoma skin cancer can be assessed using image registration, although guidelines for selecting the appropriate algorithm are lacking. This study shows the impact of rigid (RIR), deformable (DIR) and deformable structure-based (SDIR) algorithms on the skin dose. DIR increased: the maximum dose (39.2 Gy vs 9.4 Gy), the dose to 0.1 cm (16.4 Gy vs 7.8 Gy) and the dose to 2 cm (7.6 Gy vs 5.7 Gy). RIR only affected the maximum dose, which increased to 17.0 Gy. SDIR correctly translated the dose maps, as none of the parameters changed significantly.
