Abstract

This paper will evaluate the usefulness of 3D target of CBCT by comparing human body's posture and position when simulated treatment is being carried out as well as human phantom posture and position using CBCT which is applying OBI. From the Rando Phantom which is located in the datum point moved in parallel and rotationary direction using CBCT. Then the mean and standard deviation difference on images location difference that are acquired were compared with real the Rando Phantom' moved distance. To make a plan of simulated treatment with the same procedure of real radiation therapy, we are going to setup the Rando Phantom. With an assumption that the position is set in accurate place, we measured the setup errors accroding to the change of the translation and rotation. Tests are repeated 10 times to get the standard deviation of the error values. The variability in couch shift after positioning equivalent to average residual error showed lateral $0.2{\pm}0.2$mm, longitudinal $0.4{\pm}0.3$mm, vertical $-0.4{\pm}0.1$mm. The average rotation erroes target localization after simulated $0.4{\pm}0.2$ mm, $0.3{\pm}0.3$ mm, and $0.3{\pm}0.4$ mm. The detection error by rotation is $0{\sim}0.6^{\circ}$ CBCT 3D/3D matching using the Rando Phantom minimized the errors by realizing accurate matching during simulated treatment and patient caring.

온보드영상장치(OBI)를 사용하고 있는 콘빔CT(CBCT)를 이용하여 인체 팬텀 자세 및 위치와 모의치료시 인체 팬텀 자세 및 위치를 비교하여 CBCT의 3D 타깃 위치의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 실제방사선 치료와 동일한 과정으로 모의 치료계획을 하기 위해서 인체 팬텀(The Rando Phantom) 을 set up 한다. 기준점에 놓인 인체팬텀에서 CBCT를 이용하여 평행이동 및 회전이동 하였다. 이때 얻어진 영상들의 위치 차이에 대한 평균 및 편차를 인체 팬텀의 실제 이동 값과 비교하였다. 실험은 10회씩 반복하여 오차의 표준 편차를 구하였다. CBCT로 획득한 영상과 모의치료 시 획득한 CT영상을 비교하는 3D/3D 매칭에서 평균 setup의 residual error의 평균 및 표준편차는 lateral $0.2{\pm}-0.2$ mm, longitudinal $0.4{\pm}0.3$ mm, vertical $-0.4{\pm}0.1$ mm 로 각각 0~4 mm의 범위 이내로 나타났다. 모의실험 된 회전 내용은 $0.4{\pm}0.2$ mm, $0.3{\pm}0.3$ mm, 그리고 $0.3{\pm}0.4$ mm이다. 회전에 의한 error는 $0{\sim}0.6^{\circ}$ 범위이다. 인체 팬텀을 이용한 CBCT 3D/3D 매칭은 모의 치료 시와 환자 치료 시 정확한 정합을 함으로써 error를 최소화 하였다.
