A Three different regions of interest (ROIs) are used for automatic registration of planning CT and CBCT: (1) clivus area; (2) C2-C4; (3) C5-C7 or C6-T1. B is a schematic diagram of cervical curvature measurement. The angle between the lower edge of C2 and the line connecting the lower edge of C7 was used to represent the value of cervical curvature [30]
