This study introduces a new software system for radiotherapy patient setup verification using electronic portal images. The system accurately estimates patient positioning errors with minimal differences between two registration methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Image Analysis

Background:

  • Accurate patient setup is crucial for effective radiotherapy delivery.
  • Electronic portal imaging (EPI) is widely used for verifying patient positioning.
  • Software-based registration systems can improve the efficiency and accuracy of setup verification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and evaluate a novel software-based registration system for patient setup verification in radiotherapy.
  • To assess the performance of two distinct registration methods within the proposed system.
  • To determine the accuracy and reliability of the system in estimating setup errors.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a software system for patient setup verification using electronic portal images.

  • Implementation of two registration methods: (a) direct registration with reference images (DRR/simulator) using a modified manual technique, and (b) registration with the first fraction's portal image using a self-organizing map-based technique.
  • Validation of the system using phantom data and data from six patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The software system demonstrated high accuracy in estimating setup errors.
    • Root mean square errors (RMSE) for phantom data were 0.8 ± 0.3, and for patient data were 0.3 ± 0.3.
    • Statistical analysis (Wilcoxon signed test) indicated no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the results obtained by the two registration methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed software-based registration system is effective for patient setup verification in radiotherapy.
    • Both registration methodologies provide comparable and accurate results, offering flexibility in clinical application.
    • The system contributes to enhancing the precision and safety of radiotherapy treatments.
