摘要: 【摘要】目的 利用锥形束CT在线研究食管癌放疗时的摆位误差,计算CTV到PTV的外放边界(MPTV)。方法 应用医科达Synergy系统对食管癌患者治疗11例148次,分别在首次摆位后、摆位误差纠正后及治疗后行CBCT扫描,共获取444个CBCT信息,通过系统配有的匹配功能,获取的CBCT 图像与计划CT 图像相匹配,获取患者左右(X)、头脚(Y)和前后(Z)等3个方向的线性摆位误差,分析其摆位误差。结果11例患者共行444次CBCT,首次摆位后CBCT扫描,系统误差(均数)±随机误差(标准差)在X、Y、Z方向上分别为(-0.17±3.62)、(1.82±3.97)、(-2.34±2.10)mm,误差纠正后再次行CBCT,结果显示摆位误差明显缩小 (P<0.05)。与纠正后比较,治疗后摆位误差增大,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。纠正前X、Y、Z轴上MPTV分别为8.49、9.09、5.67mm,纠正后X、Y、Z方向的MPTV分别为1.80、2.47、2.21mm。结论本组病例食管癌放疗时Y方向摆位误差最大,X方向次之,Z方向最小;分次内误差在食管肿瘤治疗过程中变化明显,这在设计治疗计划时应予以考虑;通过CBCT获取食管癌患者的摆位误差并对其进行纠正,能显著降低分次间的摆位误差,提高放疗精确度,减小PTV外放边界。

Abstract: 【Abstract】Objective To analyze the setup errors in radiotherapy on esophageal carcinoma by CBCT. Methods Patients received a total of 444 CBCT scans after the initial setup,re-positioning and radiation delivery. The CBCT images were registered to the planning CT images,and the setup errors on axe axes X,Y and Z were analyzed. Results a total of 11 patients received 444 CBCT. The setup errors were larger in the left-fight and superior-inferior directions comparing to the anterior-posterior direction. Compared with the initial setup errors,the re-positioning setup errors decreased significantly in all six axes(P<0.05)The setup errors after radiation delivery were significantly increase comparing to the re-positioning setup errors(P<0.05). Without real-time correction of setup errors,the estimated margins required for CTV-PTV was 8.49 mm in X-axis,9.09 mm in Y-axis and 5.67 mm in Z-axis. While with the real-time correction,the margins were only required 1.80 mm,2.47 mm and 2.21 mm in X,Y and Z axis,respectively. Conclusions The spatial distributions of setup errors were smallest in the anterior-posterior direction,moderate in the left-right direction and largest in the superior-inferior direction. The variations of intra-fractional setup error are obvious in esophageal tumors and should be taken into account during treatment planning. Real-time online correction of setup errors by CBCT can reduce the inter-fractional error,improve the precise of radiotherapy in patients with esophageal carcinoma,and reduce the CTV-PTV margin significantly.
