背景情况:
- 图像指导放射治疗 (IGRT) 需要精确的患者定位,以确保准确的剂量输送.
- 平衡成像精度与辐射剂量对于患者安全和治疗疗效至关重要.
- 目前用于评估IGRT成像准确性的方法通常依赖于幻象研究,这些研究可能不反映现实世界的临床条件.
研究的目的:
- 提出和验证一种新的指标,即加权剂量精度产品 (DAPw),用于在IGRT中平衡注册精度和成像剂量.
- 评估使用真实患者数据的不同圆束计算机断层扫描 (CBCT) 成像技术 (6MV,140 kV和100 kV) 的性能.
- 在临床IGRT工作流程的背景下,建立注册一致性作为图像质量的替代品.
主要方法:
- 56名患者在Halcyon系统上使用6MV,140kV和100kV的CBCT进行了CBCT扫描.
- 进行了在线和离线图像注册,以评估在临床条件下的一致性和准确性.
- 权重剂量精度产品 (DAPw) 被定义为DAPw = ΔD^w1 * CTDIw^w2,其中ΔD是注册差,CTDIw是权重的CT剂量指数.
主要成果:
- 用 ΔD 测量的注册一致性,在 100 kV CBCT,140 kV CBCT 和 MV CBCT 中单调改善.
- 在所有成像方法中,在线和离线注册之间观察到注册准确度 (ΔD) 的显著差异.
- 100kV CBCT 显示了定位精度和辐射剂量之间的最佳平衡,以最低的 DAPw 值 (w1=w2=0.5) 表示.
结论:
- 通过真实患者数据验证的新型DAPw指标有效平衡IGRT中的设置精度和辐射剂量.
- 100kV CBCT在定位精度,观察者主观性降低和最佳剂量精度权衡方面提供了卓越的性能.
