[摘要] 目的 应用千伏级锥形束KV-CBCT(Kilo-Volt Cone-Beam Computed Tomography)分析鼻咽癌调强放射治疗时的摆位误差,为鼻咽癌调强放射治疗计划设计时 CTV 外扩 PTV 边界的大小提供参考。 方法 选取2014年6月—2015年12月该院收治的61例 IMRT 的鼻咽癌患者,治疗过程中每周一次应用 KV-CBCT 采集患者治疗前的 CT 图像,将所得图像与定位 CT 图像进行匹配,分别测定 X(左右)、Y(腹背)、Z(头脚)轴3个方向的摆位误差。结果 61例患者共扫描223次KV-CBCT,获得223组摆位误差结果,群体摆位误差绝对值分别为X轴(1.50±1.28)mm,Y 轴(1.61±1.35)mm,Z 轴(1.63±1.47)mm;根据Van Herk公式(PTV =2.5∑+0.7δ)计算得到各方向的 CTV-PTV 外放边界值 X、Y、Z 轴分别为2.56 mm、2.23 mm和2.94 mm。结论 应用KV-CBCT影像系统可实时测量摆位误差并在线进行纠正,缩小鼻咽癌放疗过程中分次间的摆位误差,为CTV-PTV外放边界提供参考。

[Abstract] Objective To analyze the setup errors by KV-CBCT (Kilo-Volt Cone-Beam Computed Tomography) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy to provide the reference for calculate safety margins of PTV with CTV. Methods 61 patients from June 2014 to December 2015 in our hospital with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had received KV-CBCT and were treated with IMRT were selected. By matching the acquired images of KV-CBCT and localization of CT images, the setup errors of X-axis (left-right), Y-axis (cranial-caudal) and Z-axis (ventral-dorsal) were respectively tested. Results 61 cases of patients received the 223 KV-CBCT scans., and 223 setup errors were obtained, The overall setup errors were below (1.50 ±1.28) mm in X-axis, (1.61±1.35) mm in Y-axis and (1.63±1.47) mm in Z-axis; The margins required for CTV-PTV were calculated 2.56 mm, 2.23 mm and 2.94 mm, respectively, according to the Van Herk formula (PTV =2.5∑+0.7δ). Conclusion The application of KV-CBCT imaging system on the margin of CTV-PTV can measure and reduce the setup errors by correcting online, which can reduce the intra-fractional setup errors, and provide the reference for calculating safety margins of PTV with CTV.

鼻咽癌是我國南方常见恶性肿瘤之一,其治疗方法首选放射治疗,特别是近20年来调强放射治疗技术的应用,鼻咽癌的局控率高达90%左右[1]。而适形调强放疗IMRT(Intensity modulated radiation therapy)是三维适行的一种,与常规放射治疗相比,精确度更高,在三维影像重建的基础上、在三维治疗计划指导下,靶区内的剂量能够按照处方的要求分布,即高剂量区更好地包绕靶区,周围组织的受照剂量更低,剂量梯度陡峭,因而它对摆位的精确性要求更高[2]。该研究选取2014年6月—2015年12月该院收治的61例患者为研究对象,现将研究结果报道如下。
