However, the accumulated dose is uncertain because of deformable image registration (DIR) uncertainties. This work aims to evaluate the accuracy of a tool predicting the dose accumulation reliability of a treatment plan, allowing consideration of this reliability during treatment planning.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n                    A previously developed deep-learning-based DIR uncertainty model was extended to calculate the\n                    <jats:italic>expected<\/jats:italic>\n                    DIR uncertainty only from the planning computed tomography (CT) and the\n                    <jats:italic>expected<\/jats:italic>\n                    dose accumulation uncertainty by including the planned dose distribution. For 5 lung cancer patients, the expected dose accumulation uncertainty was compared to the uncertainty of the accumulated dose of 9 repeated CTs. The model was then applied to several alternative treatment plans for each patient to evaluate its potential for plan selection.\n                    <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    The average accumulated dose uncertainty was close to the expected dose uncertainty for a large range of expected uncertainties. For high expected uncertainties, the model slightly overestimated the uncertainty. For individual voxels, errors up to 5% of the prescribed dose were common, mainly due to the daily dose distribution deviating from the plan and not because of inaccuracies in the expected DIR uncertainty. Despite the voxel-wise inaccuracies, the method proved suitable to select and compare treatment plans with respect to their accumulation reliability.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Using our tool to select reliably accumulatable treatment plans can facilitate the use of accumulated doses during online reoptimization.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ae35c9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T22:55:40Z","timestamp":1767912940000},"page":"025011","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Predicting dose accumulation reliability at the planning stage, with an application to adaptive proton therapy"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2874-3634","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"A","family":"Smolders","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"Lomax","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2547-1269","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"F","family":"Albertini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbae35c9bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ad7cbd","type":"journal-article","article-title":"First clinical implementation of a highly efficient daily online adapted proton therapy (DAPT) workflow","volume":"69","author":"Albertini","year":"2024","journal-title":"Phys.
