초록

목 적: 전립선암 양성자치료 시 Double Scattering mode (DS)와 Pencil Beam Scanning mode (PBS)에서의 Dose-volume histograms (DVHs)를 분석하여, Conformity Number (CN), Homogeneity indexes (HI)와 선량 별 정상장기의 %Volume을 구하여 선량적합성과 정상장기 보호효과를 비교 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 양성자치료를 받은 9명의 전립선암 환자를 대상으로 Eclipse proton external beam planning system을 사용해 일일선량 2.5 Gy씩 28회, 총 70 Gy가 PTV에 95%가 들어가도록 치료계획을 세웠다. 치료 계획된 DS와 PBS 각각의 DVHs로 PTV의 CN과 HI을 구하여 비교하고 정상장기에 들어가는 선량별 %Volume을 비교하였다. 결 과: PTV의 평균 CN은 DS $0.68{\pm}0.07$에서, PBS $0.79{\pm}0.01$로 16.63% 증가하였다. 평균 HI는 DS $0.12{\pm}0.03$에서, PBS $0.09{\pm}0.01$로 -22.66% 감소하였다. 직장을 제외한 전 관찰자의 모든 정상장기에서 DS보다 PBS에서 들어가는 %Volume이 감소하였고, PBS에서 평균 왼쪽 대퇴골 두에 30 Gy 이상 들어가는 %Volume이 -79.93%로 가장 많이 감소하였으며, 평균 직장에 70 Gy 이상 들어가는 %Volume이 -3.03%로 가장 적게 감소하였다. 결 론: 따라서 전립선암 환자 양성자 치료 시 PBS가 DS보다 선량 적합성에 도달하는데 효과적이며, 정상장기에 들어가는 불필요한 선량을 낮추는데 좋고 특히 대퇴골 두에 들어가는 불필요한 저 선량을 감소시키는데 탁월한 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: After making two plans, the Double Scattering (DS) Mode and The Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS) Mode, of patients on early prostate cancer, we not only compare the dose conformity and the dose homogeneity by analyzing each DVH, CN and HI, but also evaluate normal structures's sparing effect on each mode. Materials and Methods: Planes about nine patients, who did proton therapy, on prostate cancer was setted using the Eclipse proton external beam planning system. The prescription dose, every $2.5 Gy{\times}28$ fractions=70 Gy, was delivered to the PTV. The CN and the HI were getted by anlazing each DVHs for the DS Plan and the PBS Plan. Also, normal structures' %volumes according to dose of the PBS are campared with those of the DS. Results: The average CN of the PTV is increase 16.63% from DS $0.68{\pm}0.07$ to PBS $0.79{\pm}0.01$, and the average IN of the PTV is decrease -22.66 % from DS $0.12{\pm}0.03$ to PBS $0.09{\pm}0.01$. The PBS has litter %Volumes of normal structures than the DS about every patient except Rectum. The average %Volume of Left Femoral Head receiving ${\geq}30$ Gy shows most high decreasing rate, -79.93%, from DS to PBS and the average %Volume of Rectum receiving ${\geq}70$ Gy shows most low decreasing rate, -3.03%, from DS to PBS. Conclusion: Therefore, the PBS is more effective achieving the dose conformity and the dose Homogeneity than DS, and better to reduce unnecessary dose arriving normal structures, especially the femoral heads.
