Abstract
Purpose : In the current whole brain Radiation Therapy, Optimold was used to immobilize the head. However, skin dose was increased about 22% due to the scattering radiation by the Optimold. Since the minimum dose causing cataracts was 2 Gy, it could be seen that the effects were large especially on the lens. Therefore, in the whole brain Radiation Therapy, it was to compare and to evaluate the lens absorbed dose according to the presence of Optimold in the eyeball part. Materials and Methods : In order to compare and to evaluate the lens absorbed dose according to the presence of Optimold in the eyeball part, the Optimold mask was made ??up to 5mm bolus on the part of the eye lens in the human model phantom (Anderson Rando Phantom, USA). In the practice treatment, to measure the lens dose, the simulation therapy was processed by placing the GafChromic EBT3 film under bolus, and after the treatment plan was set up through the treatment planning system (Pinnacle, PHILIPS, USA), the treatments were measured repeatedly three times in the same way. After removing the Optimold mask in the eyeball part, it was measured in the same way as above. After scanning the film and measuring the dose by using the Digital Flatbed Scanner (Expression 10000XL, EPSON, USA), the doses were compared and evaluated according to the presence of Optimold mask in the eyeball part. Results : When there was the Optimold mask in the eyeball part, it was measured at $10.2cGy{\pm}1.5$ in the simulation therapy, and at $24.8cGy{\pm}2.7$ in the treatment, and when the Optimold mask was removed in the eye part, it was measured at $12.9cGy{\pm}2.2$ in the simulation therapy, and at $17.6cGy{\pm}1.5$ in the treatment. Conclusion : In case of removing the Optimold mask in the eyeball part, the dose was increased approximately 3 cGy in the simulation therapy and was reduced approximately 7 cGy in the treatment in comparison to the case that the Optimold mask was not removed. During the whole treatment, since the lens absorbed dose was reduced about 27%, the chance to cause cataracts and side effects was considered to be reduced due to decrease of the absorbed dose to the eye lens which had the high sensitivity on the radiation.
목 적 : 현재 전뇌 방사선 치료 시 두부의 고정을 위하여 Optimold가 사용되고 있다. 하지만 Optimold로 인한 산란선에 의해 피부선량이 약 22% 증가하게 된다. 백내장을 일으키는 최소선량이 2 Gy 이므로 특히 수정체에서는 영향이 크다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 전뇌 방사선 치료 시 Optimold 안구 부분의 유무에 따른 수정체에 흡수되는 선량을 비교평가 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 안구 부분의 Optimold의 유무에 따른 수정체에 흡수되는 선량을 비교평가 하고자 인체모형팬텀(Anderson Rando Phantom, USA)의 수정체 부분에 5mm bolus를 올려 Optimold mask를 만들었다. 모의치료 시 수정체의 선량측정을 위해 bolus 밑에 GAFCHROMIC EBT3 film을 위치시켜 모의치료를 진행하고 전산화치료계획시스템(Pinnacle, PHILIPS, USA)을 통해 치료계획을 수립한 후 치료도 동일하게 진행하여 3회 반복측정 하였다. 안구 부분의 Optimold mask를 제거하고 위와 동일한 방법으로 측정하였다. 디지털 평판 스캐너(Expression 10000XL, EPSON, USA)를 이용하여 film을 스캔한 후 선량을 측정하여 안구 부분의 Optimold mask의 유무에 따른 선량을 비교평가 하였다. 결 과 : 안구 부분의 Optimold mask가 있을 때 모의치료 시 $10.2cGy{\pm}1.5$, 치료 시 $24.8cGy{\pm}2.7$, 안구 부분의 Optimold mask를 제거하였을 때 모의치료 시 $12.9cGy{\pm}2.2$, 치료 시 $17.6cGy{\pm}1.5$로 측정 되었다. 결 론 : 안구 부분의 Optimold mask를 제거하였을 경우 제거하지 않았을 경우에 비하여 모의치료 시 약 3 cGy의 선량이 증가하였고 치료 시 약 7 cGy의 선량이 감소하였다. 전 치료과정 중 수정체의 흡수선량이 약 27%감소되어 방사선감수성이 높은 수정체에 흡수되는 선량이 줄어 백내장을 일으킬 확률과 부작용을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
