  • Background: In this study, the complexities of step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans in magnetic resonance-guided radiation therapy systems were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Overall, 194 verification plans from the abdomen, prostate, and breast sites were collected using a 60Co-based ViewRay radiotherapy system (ViewRay Inc., Cleveland, OH, USA). Various plan complexity metrics (PCMs) were calculated for each verification plan, including the modulation complexity score (MCS), plan-averaged beam area (PA), plan-averaged beam irregularity, plan-averaged edge (PE), plan-averaged beam modulation, number of segments, average area among all segments (AA/Seg), and total beam-on time (TBT). The plan deliverability was quantified in terms of gamma passing rates (GPRs) with a 1 mm/2% criterion, and the Pearson correlation coefficients between GPRs and various PCMs were analyzed. Results and Discussion: For the abdomen, prostate, and breast groups, the average GPRs with the 1 mm/2% criterion were 77.8 ± 6.0%, 79.8 ± 4.9%, and 84.7 ± 7.3%; PCMs were 0.263, 0.271, and 0.386; PAs were 15.001, 18.779, and 35.683; PEs were 1.575, 1.444, and 1.028; AA/Segs were 15.37, 19.89, and 36.64; and TBTs were 18.86, 19.33, and 5.91 minutes, respectively. The various PCMs, i.e., MCS, PA, PE, AA/Seg, and TBT, showed statistically significant Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.416, 0.627, -0.541, 0.635, and -0.397, respectively, with GPRs. Conclusion: The area-related metrics exhibited strong correlations with GPRs. Moreover, the AA/Seg metric can be used to estimate the IMRT plan accuracy without beam delivery in the 60Co-based ViewRay radiotherapy system.

  • 최근 국제해사기구에서 추진하고 있는 e-navigation은 선박의 안전운항을 위한 다양한 서비스를 지향하고 있다. 이에 따라, 해양 분야에 다양한 소프트웨어 개발이 기대되고 있으며, 동시에 그 품질의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 소프트웨어의 품질 향상의 실험을 위해, 기존 AIS중개서버 프로그램에 소프트웨어 리팩토링(refactoring) 기법을 적용하였으며, 그 효과를 분석하였다. 리팩토링은 소프트웨어를 소스 코드 수준에서 구조의 복잡성을 줄여서, 이해하기 쉽고 기능 변경이 용이한 상태로 변경하는 기법이다. 이를 통해, 겉으로 보이는 동작의 변화는 없이 내부구조가 변경된다. 리팩토링 적용 효과 분석을 위해서, IEC/ISO 9126 소프트웨어 품질표준의 유지보수성과 관련된 기존 메트릭의 산술적 측정기법을 도입했다.
