概括
当使用具有高密度异质性的高级剂量计算算法时,优先考虑计划目标体积 (PTV) 均质性可能会导致问题. 肌肉等效剂量报告方法为治疗规划提供了一种一致且实用的替代方案.
科学领域:
- 医学物理 医学物理
- 辐射瘤学 辐射瘤学
- 放射治疗规划 放射治疗规划
背景情况:
- 传统的规划目标量 (PTV) 同质性目标受到先进的剂量计算算法 (例如蒙特卡洛) 的挑战.
- 先进的算法报告中等至中等剂量 (Dm,m),这些剂量取决于介质的组成,从而损害了均照射和剂量均性之间的联系.
- 在PTV中,骨头或金属等高密度异质性进一步复杂化剂量评估和规划.
研究的目的:
- 在存在高密度异质性时,对高级剂量计算算法修订PTV同质性目标.
- 为了评估强大的优化与基于PTV的优化,使用中等中等 (Dm,m) 和肌肉等效 (D肌肉,肌肉*) 剂量报告.
- 评估对剂量计参数,稳定性,计划复杂性和优化时间的影响.
主要方法:
- 在PTV中选择了四个具有高密度异质性 (骨/金属) 的患者病例.
- 每个病例使用RayStation与蒙特卡罗生成了三个治疗计划:强大的Dm,m,PTV-Dm,m,和PTV-D肌肉,肌肉*.
- 根据Dm,m和Dmuscle,muscle*的报告评估计划,评估剂量测量结果,强度,复杂性和优化效率.
主要成果:
- 强大的Dm,m和PTV-D肌肉,肌肉*计划显示了类似的,不均的PTV剂量,在高密度地区有冷点.
- PTV-Dm,m计划实现了PTV的一致性,但引入了局部流补偿,导致稳定性降低和复杂性增加.
- 强大的优化速度明显较慢 (7-11倍);D肌肉,肌肉*报告了基于PTV和强大的评估之间的更好的一致性.
结论:
- 在使用Dm,m报告时,不建议优先考虑PTV同质性,因为使用高级算法和高密度异质性时,不建议优先考虑PTV同质性.
- PTV-D肌肉,肌肉*优化提供了一个可行的替代方案,保持基于PTV的规划一致性与强大的优化.
- 肌肉,肌肉报告简化了计划评估,与临床实践保持一致,并有助于治疗规划决策.

Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Positron Emission Tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
