  • 본 연구의 목적은 흡수선량 재구성, 방사선 치료간의 재구성된 선량의 등록, 선량-체적 히스토그램의 생산등을 수행하는 선량 재구성의 임상적 응용시스템을 만들고 그것을 변형된 전립선 팬텀에 적용하는 것이다. 이를 위해 변형가능한 전립선 팬텀을 20 cm 깊이와 40 cm너비의 물팬텀에 집에 넣었다. 이것의 영상을 얻고, 전립선, 정낭 및 항문의 윤곽을 그렸다. 동일 평면에서 네개의 조사문을 이용하여 세기 변조계획을 세웠다.항문에 20 ml의 물풍선을 삽입하여 장기를 변형시켰다. 영상을 다시 획득하여 위 장기의 윤곽을 그렸다. XVMC몬테칼로 코드를 사용하여 두 팬텀및 EPID내에서 선량반응 인자를 계산하였다. 세기변조계획에서 얻어진 방사선을 두팬텀에 조사하여 EPID에서 적분형 영상을 얻었다. Demons 방법을 사용하여 변형된 팬텀을 변형전 팬텀에 등록시켰다. 이를 통해 단위체적별 위치변이 정보를 얻었고 이를 이용해 두 팬텀의 재 구성된 선량을 합하여 변형전 팬텀에 생산해 냈다. 순방향으로 계산된 치료계획 선량을 합산된 재구성된 선량과 비교하였다. 200 cGy에서 전립선과 정낭이 받든 체적은 차이를 거의 보이지 않았으나, 210 cGy 이상에서는 3%가량 차이를 보였다. 항문에서는 150-200 cGy영역에서 재구성된 선량에 의하여 받은 체적은 치료 계획과 비교하여 3% 이상 적었다. 본 연구를 통하여 선량 재구성의 임상적 응용시스템이 성공적으로 만들어 졌다. 변형된 전립선 팬텀에 적용되어 작지 않은 선량의 차이를 목표장기와 보호 장기에 보였다.

  • Dose differences between three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) doses could be varied according to the geometrical relationship between a planning target volume (PTV) and an organ at risk (OAR). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the overlap volume histogram (OVH), which quantitatively shows the geometrical relationship between the PTV and OAR, and the dose differences. 4D computed tomography (4DCT) images were acquired for 10 liver cancer patients. Internal target volume-based treatment planning was performed. A 3D dose was calculated on a reference phase (end-exhalation). A 4D dose was accumulated using deformation vector fields between the reference and other phase images of 4DCT from deformable image registration, and dose differences between the 3D and 4D doses were calculated. An OVH between the PTV and selected OAR (duodenum) was calculated and quantified on the basis of specific overlap volumes that corresponded to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the OAR volume overlapped with the expanded PTV. Statistical analysis was performed to verify the correlation with the OVH and dose difference for the OAR. The minimum mean dose difference was 0.50 Gy from case 3, and the maximum mean dose difference was 4.96 Gy from case 2. The calculated range of the correlation coefficients between the OVH and dose difference was from -0.720 to -0.712, and the R-square range for regression analysis was from 0.506 to 0.518 (p-value <0.05). However, when the 10% overlap volume was applied in the six cases that had OVH value ${\leq}2$, the average percent mean dose differences were $34.80{\pm}12.42%$. Cases with quantified OVH values of 2 or more had mean dose differences of $29.16{\pm}11.36%$. In conclusion, no significant statistical correlation was found between the OVH and dose differences. However, it was confirmed that a higher difference between the 3D and 4D doses could occur in cases that have smaller OVH value.
