초록

목 적: 뇌 두경부 종양의 방사선치료에서 전자조사문영상장치(electronic portal imaging device)를 이용한 조사문 영상에서 제2경추 치상돌기(dens)의 좌우 위치변화를 측정하고 이것이 치료에 미치는 임상적 의의에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2009년 1월 1일부터 2010년 6월 30일까지 뇌 두경부 종양으로 해당 부위에 3차원 입체조형방사선치료 또는 세기조절방사선치료를 받았던 21명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 모의치료 시 획득한 디지털재구성사진과 방사선치료 기간 중 정기적으로 촬영한 전면 조사문영상에서 코중격과 치상돌기의 X축 방향에서 위치오차를 측정하였다. 또한 방사선치료 계획용 프로그램을 이용하여 위치오차가 발생하였을 때, 주변 정상 장기 및 치료 표적의 선량 분포에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 결 과: 총 확인한 조사문영상은 400개였다. 평균 위치오차는 절대값으로 측정하였을 때 코중격에서 0.16 mm, 치상돌기에서 0.33 mm였다. 3 mm 이상 오차를 보인 경우가 코중격에서는 43번(10.7%), 치상돌기에서는 133번(33.1%)이었고, 5 mm 이상 오차를 보인 경우는 코중격에서는 없었으나 치상돌기에서는 11번(2.7%) 확인 되었다. 5 mm 이상 dens의 위치오자가 발생한 경우를 방사선치료 계획용 프로그램을 이용하여 재현해 보았을 때, 임상표 적체적의 선량조사 감소(V95: 100%${\rightarrow}$87.2%), 척수의 과도한 선량 조사가 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다(V45: <0.1%${\rightarrow}$12.6%). 결 론: 뇌 두경부의 방사선조사 시에 전자조사문영상장치를 이용하여 일부 환자들에서 치상돌기 오차를 비교적 쉽게 발견할 수 있는데, 코(얼굴의 앞면) 부분이 잘 맞더라도 5 mm 이상의 치상돌기 위치 오차가 발생할 수 있으므로 주의가 필요하겠다.

Purpose: To assess the degree and clinical impact of location error of the dens on the X-axis during radiotherapy to brain and head and neck tumors. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with brain tumors or head and neck tumors who received three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy from January 2009 to June 2010 were included in this study. In comparison two-dimensional verification portal images with initial simulation images, location error of the nasal septum and the dens on the X-axis was measured. The effect of set-up errors of the dens was simulated in the planning system and analyzed with physical dose parameters. Results: A total of 402 portal images were reviewed. The mean location error at the nasal septum was 0.16 mm and at the dens was 0.33 mm (absolute value). Location errors of more than 3 mm were recorded in 43 cases (10.7%) at the nasal septum, compared to 133 cases (33.1%) at the dens. There was no case with a location error more than 5 mm at the nasal septum, compared to 11 cases (2.7%) at the dens. In a dosimetric simulation, a location error more than 5 mm at the dens could induce a reduction in the clinical target volume 1 coverage (V95: 100%${\rightarrow}$87.2%) and overdosing to a critical normal organ (Spinal cord V45: <0.1%${\rightarrow}$12.6%). Conclusion: In both brain and head and neck radiotherapy, a relatively larger set-up error was detected at the dens than the nasal septum when using an electronic portal imaging device. Consideration of the location error of the dens is necessary at the time of the precise radiation beam delivery in two-dimensional verification systems.
