Abstract

With portal imaging devices we can easily determine the position of bones in the patient, but we cannot visualize soft tissues. Kilo voltage cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging integrated to treatment machine is relatively a new technique and provides higher resolution of soft tissues for imaging. In this study, our aim was to measure the differences between 2D-2D and 3D-3D registration based set-ups. We investigated whether using kV cone beam CT reduced setup errors compared to kV portal imaging. Four patients with the diagnosis of head and neck cancer (2 patients with cancer in the base of tongue, 2 with hypopharyngeal cancer) and 6 patients with prostate cancer were included in our study. The treatments were delivered with IMRT. kvCBCT-kv film comparisions were evaluated in 44 sets of data for head and neck cancer patients, and in 130 sets of data for prostate cancer patients. We analyzed the necessary planning target volume (PTV) margins for each group when only kv portal imaging is performed every day and found that a margin of 2.1 and 1.5 mm in all directions would be sufficient in case of pelvic tumors and head and neck cancers respectively if the kv portal images are performed every day. Compared to the literature the shifts were minimal when kvCBCT was performed after kv portal imaging. The immobilization procedures, followed strictly, may be reason for this observation.

Özet

Portal görüntüleme yöntemleri ile hastanın kemik yapılarını kolayca görüntüleyebiliriz, ancak yumuşak dokular bu yöntemle izlenemez. Kilo voltaj cone beam bilgisayarlı tomografi (CBCT) görüntüleme yöntemlerinin tedavi cihazlarına entegre edilmesi nispeten yeni bir yöntemdir ve yumuşak dokuların daha yüksek çözünürlükte görüntülemesini sağlar. Bu çalışmada amacımız iki buyutlu görüntüleme işlemleri ile yapılan set-up ile üç boyutlu görüntüleme yöntemleri ile yapılan set-up arasındaki farkı araştırmak ve set-up hataları açı- sından kvCBCT nin portal görüntülemeye göre set-up hatalarını ne kadar düzelttiğni incelemektir. Dört baş ve boyun kanserli (2 hasta dil kökü, 2 hasta hipofarinks) ve dört prostat kanserli hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tedaviler yoğunluk ayarlı radyoterapi (YART) yöntemi ile uygulandı. Baş boyun kanserli hastalardan elde olunan 44 kvCBCT-kv portal film karşılaştırması ve prostat kanserli hastalardan elde olunan 130 kvCBCT-kv portal film karşılaştırması değerlendirildi. Analizler sonucunda her gün sadece kv portal görüntüleme yapıldığında gerekli PTV emniyetinin baş boyun kanserleri için 1.5mm ve prostat kanseri için 2.1 mm olduğu bulundu. Literatür ile kıyaslandığında kv portal görüntüleme sonrası kvCBCT uygulandığında kaymaların minimal olduğu bulunmuştur. Bunun nedenlerinden biri immobilizasyon yöntemlerinin ve hazırlık aşamalarının her hasta için özenle uygulanmış olması olabilir.
