This study introduces a novel motion-encoded dose calculation method for radiotherapy. It accurately accounts for patient motion, improving dose calculation accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Treatment Planning

Background:

  • Conventional radiotherapy planning uses static CT images, leading to dose discrepancies due to intra/inter-fraction patient motion.
  • Accurate dose calculation is crucial for effective radiotherapy and minimizing side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for incorporating patient motion directly into radiotherapy dose calculation.
  • To improve the accuracy of delivered radiation dose by accounting for real-time motion.

Main Methods:

  • Decomposing patient motion into parallel and perpendicular components relative to the beam direction.
  • Modifying the fluence distribution (sinogram) to account for motion effects, enabling static image-based dose calculation.

  • Comparing the novel method with dose-convolution and stochastic simulation techniques using extensive simulations.

    • Main Results:

    • The motion-encoded dose calculation method accurately accounts for motion, outperforming dose-convolution for complex phantoms and heterogeneous materials.
    • The maximum error in motion-encoded dose calculation was within 4% of the gold standard (stochastic simulation).
    • The method effectively handles material heterogeneity and surface curvature, unlike the dose-convolution method.

    Conclusions:

    • Motion-encoded dose calculation offers a superior and more accurate approach to radiotherapy planning by directly integrating patient motion.
    • This method simplifies the incorporation of random and systematic motion errors and optimizes cumulative dose.
    • It potentially eliminates the need for planning target volume definitions by inherently accounting for motion variations.
