ObjectiveDuring registration of cone-beam CT images and planning CT, this paper investigated the effect of setup errors for the different registration-algorithms and multiple regions-of-interest for nasopharyngeal carcinoma for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods 20 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were enroled for IMRT. Each patient received Cone-beam CT (CBCT) during the first fraction of treatment. The registration-algorithms were selected bone and gray registration. There were three kinds of regions-of-interest, including between brow ridge to top teeth, between bottom teeth to neck and whole region. Six methods were selected to match CBCT and planning CT and get setup errors. The differences to six methods were evaluated.Results There were statisticaly significant differences between the whole of bone algorithm to the whole of gray algorithm in y,Rx,Ry (P<0.05). There were statisticaly significant differences between the whole of bone algorithm to the bottom teeth of gray algorithm in x,z,Rx (P<0.05). Conclusion There were statisticaly significant differences when the registration-algorithms included neck. We should pay attention to the neck setup errors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy and improve the precise of treatment for neck region.
ObjectiveAccording different CT images to analysis the changes of volume for head and neck, parotid gland and gross target during treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods 15 patients were enroled for nasopharyngeal carcinoma during treatment. For each patients, there were 4 serials CT being scanned, including previously treatment, previously radiotherapy, the dose were 45~53 Gy and after radiotherapy. We contoured the body of head and neck, neck, target and parotid gland, then calculated the volume. According the changes of volumes, we evaluated the largest change phase and hope nursing intervention decrease the changes..Results During the dose were 45~53 Gy, there are significant differences for head and neck, neck, target and parotid to previously radiotherapy. The t values were 4.26, 13.23, 13.23, 5.86, 3.93, 5.93(P<0.05) for neck, left parotid gland, right parotid gland, gross target volume, left neck gross target volume and right neck gross target volume.Conclusion During delivered 45~53 Gy,there were the large changes of volume to previously radiotherapy for region of interest (ROIs) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment. In clinical practice, nursing intervention to decrease the changes is important for precise radiotherapy. Otherwise, we should take adaptive radiotherapy.
Objective: To investigate the frequency of setup correction for cervical cancer during image-guided radiotherapy ( IG-RT) in intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) .Methods: 17 patients with cervical cancer were treated by IMRT and IGRT.Cone-beam CT ( CBCT) were acquired at the first, second and third fraction.CBCT and planning CT were registered and got the setup errors.The errors were done the statistic analysis using paired t-test.Results:Using absolute value of setup errors, The aver-age value of y-axis shift ( superior-inferior direction) was obviously larger than other axes.There are no significant in statistics for any two groups of setup error.Conclusion:We must pay attention to the shift of y-axis for cervical cancer during image-guided ra-diotherapy.The setup error was at random each fraction.So we must scan more times using CBCT and correct setup errors to get accu-rate treatment.
目的:基于已有的头部和颈部为中心的摆位误差数据,研究鼻咽癌不同段的靶区扩边方案。方法:入组鼻咽癌患者20例,每位患者扫描CBCT的次数为6~9次,配准获得摆位误差;同时入组100例以颈部为中心的患者,每人仅扫描1次CBCT,获取患者的摆位误差。依据这些误差计算出头部和颈部的肿瘤扩边的大小。这两组病例均使用调强放射治疗。结果:头部肿瘤靶区扩边 X, Y, Z 方向各为:1.71mm,1.93mm,1.32mm。颈部靶区扩边X, Y, Z方向分别为:3.62mm,4.26mm,3.74mm。结论:头部比颈部的肿瘤PTV需要的扩边明显要小。鼻咽癌在治疗过程中,鼻咽部(头部)肿瘤扩边2 mm可以达到治疗要求。颈部需要扩边5 mm才能达到控制肿瘤的摆位误差的目的。
