This study introduces a novel method for precise tumor localization during radiotherapy, accounting for patient positioning and organ motion. The technique accurately identifies tumor positions and trajectories, improving treatment accuracy for lung and prostate cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate tumor localization is crucial for effective radiotherapy.
  • Patient setup variations and internal organ motion complicate precise targeting.
  • In-room computed tomography (CT) offers a potential solution for capturing treatment position.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for tumor localization that incorporates internal organ motion and respiratory displacements.
  • To evaluate the method's efficacy in prostate and lung cancer patients.
  • To validate the method against manual target positioning.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized in-room computed tomography (CT) to capture the patient's treatment position.
  • Developed a method to account for internal organ motion and respiratory-induced displacements.

  • Applied the method to prostate and lung cancer cases.

    • Main Results:

    • The method successfully determined the most probable tumor positions for both prostate and lung cancer.
    • For high-mobility lung tumors, the method identified their trajectory during the respiratory cycle.
    • Results demonstrated strong agreement with manually determined target positions, validating the novel approach.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method enhances tumor localization accuracy in radiotherapy by integrating organ motion.
    • This approach is effective for various tumor sites, including those with significant respiratory motion.
    • The validated method offers a promising advancement for precision radiotherapy planning and delivery.
