Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients in radiotherapy require adaptive treatment plans due to anatomical changes. Deformable image registration (DIR) is used in adaptive radiotherapy, e.g. for deformable dose accumulation (DDA). However, DIR's ill-posedness necessitates addressing uncertainties, often overlooked in clinical implementations. DIR's further clinical implementation is hindered by missing quantitative commissioning and quality assurance tools. This study evaluates one pathway for more quantitative DDA uncertainties.
