Abstract

Purpose : To evaluate the changes of the motion of abdominal cavity between interfraction and intrafraction by using abdominal compression for reducing abdominal motion. Materials and Methods : 60 MVCT images were obtained before and after tomotherapy from 10 prostate cancer patients over the whole radiotherapy period. Shift values ( X -lateral Y -longitudinal Z -vertical and Roll ) were measured and from it, the correlation of between interfraction set up change and intrafraction target motion was analyzed when applying abdominal compression. Results : The motion changes of interfraction were X-average $0.65{\pm}2.32mm$, Y-average $1.41{\pm}4.83mm$, Z-average $0.73{\pm}0.52mm$ and Roll-average $0.96{\pm}0.21mm$. The motion changes of intrafraction were X-average $0.15{\pm}0.44mm$, Y-average $0.13{\pm}0.44mm$, Z-average $0.24{\pm}0.64mm$ and Roll-average $0.1{\pm}0.9mm$. The average PTV maximum dose difference was minimum for 10% phase and maximum for 70% phase. The average Spain cord maximum dose difference was minimum for 0% phase and maximum for 50% phase. The average difference of $V_{20}$, $V_{10}$, $V_5$ of Lung show bo certain trend. Conclusion : Abdominal compression can minimize the motion of internal organs and patients. So it is considered to be able to get more ideal dose volume without damage of normal structures from generating margin in small in producing PTV.

목 적 : 외부 압박을 통해 전립선암 환자의 복강 내 압력을 안정화시켜 움직임을 감소하여 치료 간(interfraction)과 치료 중(intrafraction)에 변화를 측정하여 평가하고자 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 10명의 전립선환자들은 전체 치료과정동안 MVCT 스캔을 통해 치료 전과 후에 걸쳐 환자 당 60개의 영상을 획득하였고 획득한 좌우방향(X), 상하방향(Y), 전후방향(Z), 회전방향(Roll)에 대한 Shift 값들을 이용하여 복부 압박 시 치료 간 치료준비 변화와 치료 중 표적 움직임의 상호 연관성을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 치료 간의 움직임 변화는 평균 좌우방향(X)에서 $0.65{\pm}2.32mm$, 상하방향(Y)에서 $1.41{\pm}4.83mm$, 전후방향(Z)에서 $0.73{\pm}0.52mm$, 회전방향(Roll)에서 $0.96{\pm}0.21^{\circ}$로 나타났다. 치료 중 움직임 변화는 평균 좌우방향(X)에서 $0.15{\pm}0.44mm$, 상하방향(Y)에서 $0.13{\pm}0.44mm$, 전후방향(Z)에서 $0.24{\pm}0.64mm$, 회전방향(Roll)에서 $0.1{\pm}0.9^{\circ}$로 나타났다. 결 론 : 전처치과정과 외부에서 복부압박을 통한 전복부의 움직임을 제한한다면 치료동안에 내부 장기와 환자의 움직임을 감소시켜 보다 적은 여유(margin)로 계획용 표적체적(PTV)을 생성할 수 있어서 정상조직의 부작용 증가 없이 더욱 이상적인 선량 체적을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
