Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Four-dimensional CT (4DCT) reconstruction commonly uses phase-based and amplitude-based sorting.
  • The impact of these sorting techniques on 4D dose calculation accuracy remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel k-means sampling technique for 4DCT reconstruction.
  • To compare the 4D dose calculation accuracy of k-means sorting against traditional phase-based and amplitude-based methods.

Main Methods:

  • An optimization model was developed using organ motion probability density function (PDF) for 4D dose convolution.
  • K-means clustering was employed as a sampling scheme to optimize sorting variables based on respiratory motion PDF.
  • Residual error analysis was performed using patient breathing curves and 3D dose distributions.

Main Results:

  • K-means sampling demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional phase-based and amplitude-based sorting.
  • Residual errors in 4D dose calculations decreased significantly with k-means and optimal sampling as the number of 4DCT phases increased to 6.
  • Phase-based sorting showed limitations in reducing residual error beyond a certain number of phases.

Conclusions:

  • The k-means method offers an innovative approach to phase sorting in 4DCT reconstruction, relying solely on tumor motion PDF.
  • This method effectively refines 4DCT reconstruction and improves 4D dose accumulation accuracy.
  • Optimized sorting techniques, including k-means, achieve acceptable dose calculation residuals (<0.5% of prescription dose) with as few as 6 sorting samples.
