Optimizing surface marker placement significantly reduces target registration error (TRE) in radiotherapy, improving tumor targeting. This photogrammetry-based system enhances patient positioning accuracy by 50% compared to random marker placement.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Image-Guided Therapy

Background:

  • Conventional laser alignment for radiotherapy patient positioning has limitations.
  • Photogrammetry-based systems use skin markers and infrared cameras for 3D positioning.
  • Current random marker placement can lead to significant target registration error (TRE) in internal lesion treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate patient-specific optimal surface marker configurations to minimize TRE.
  • To improve the accuracy of lesion targeting in external beam radiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Developed methods to design patient-specific optimal surface marker configurations using genetic algorithm (GA) optimization.
  • Utilized automatic segmentation of planning CT scans to determine patient surface contours.

  • Evaluated the method using a body phantom with a simulated internal target, measuring TRE via CT registration and portal films.

    • Main Results:

    • A 50% reduction in TRE was achieved using optimal marker configurations compared to random configurations.
    • The optimized configuration demonstrably improved tumor targeting ability.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient-specific optimization of surface marker configuration is crucial for minimizing TRE in photogrammetry-based radiotherapy positioning.
    • This approach enhances the precision of internal tumor targeting, leading to improved treatment outcomes.
