Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Intra-fraction target motion challenges Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) by disrupting precise target positioning.
  • Real-time motion compensation is crucial for ensuring planned dose delivery to moving targets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel approach for TopoTherapy delivery that compensates for moving targets without additional hardware or control requirements.
  • To adapt binary MLC-based IMRT (TomoTherapy) for real-time motion management using a unique strategy.

Main Methods:

  • A new TopoTherapy delivery technique is proposed, utilizing the planned leaf sequence by rearranging projection and leaf indices.
  • This method does not require reoptimization, whole target motion trajectory, or velocity, simplifying system implementation.
  • It relies solely on instantaneous target positions for motion compensation.

Main Results:

  • Simulations, including worst-case scenarios, demonstrate the technique's applicability to regular and mild irregular respiratory motions.
  • The delivered dose closely conforms to the target, allowing for significant margin reduction.
  • The method achieves a nearly 100% duty cycle with minimal breath control, unlike gating or breath-hold techniques.

Conclusions:

  • The presented TopoTherapy approach offers an effective, simplified solution for real-time motion compensation in IMRT for moving targets.
  • Accurate, real-time tumor localization is essential for achieving significant margin reduction and optimal treatment outcomes.
  • This technique enhances the feasibility of motion management in binary MLC-based IMRT delivery.
