DICOM spatial registration object export is provided by SlicerRT extension. It supports both rigid and deformable transforms.

You can right-click on the transform in `Data` module, verify that the export type is `REG...` and choose `Export to DICOM` then click Export.

If `REG...` export type is not offered then the registration tool that you used did not set the fixed and moving image reference. You can do this by copying these few lines into the Python console (update the node names according to actual volume and transform node names in your scene):

```python
transform = getNode('Transform')
fixedVolume = getNode('MRBrainTumor1')
movingVolume = getNode('MRBrainTumor2')
transform.SetNodeReferenceID(transform.GetMovingNodeReferenceRole(), movingVolume.GetID())
transform.SetNodeReferenceID(transform.GetFixedNodeReferenceRole(), fixedVolume.GetID())

```

All this is a bit clunky, but the need for DICOM spatial registration object so rarely comes up that we did not spend much time making this feature more convenient.
