Abstract

Purpose : We compared the set-up accuracy and right-left Shoulder position variation of the manufactured device and other commercial shoulder-retractors in the head and neck radiation treatment. Materials and Methods : Six patients consist of three groups which were used three different Shoulder retractors. We measured position corrections of left and right Shoulder and the couch after the image guidance by using on board imager (OBI) for six head and neck patients who has the extended target to the neck node lower region. Results : The position variation correction of left (right) Shoulder after image guidance were $1.07{\pm}3.99mm$ ($-4.35{\pm}2.09mm$), $-0.37{\pm}5.91mm$ ($1.26{\pm}5.28mm$), $-0.63{\pm}2.44mm$ ($0.25{\pm}1.61mm$) for group A, B and C. The vertical, lateral, longitudinal position and angular corrections of the couch after image guidance were $-2.06{\pm}2.68$, $-1.11{\pm}8.15$, $0.34{\pm}3.78mm$, and $0.51{\pm}0.77$ degree for group A, $-1.18{\pm}1.82$, $-0.94{\pm}2.13$, $-0.67{\pm}1.98mm$, and $0.91{\pm}1.04$ degree for group B and $0.12{\pm}2.18$, $-0.79{\pm}2.64$, $0.79{\pm}2.64$, and $0.00{\pm}0.49$ degree for group C. Conclusion : In this preliminary study, we found the positioning accuracy of the manufactured Shoulder retractor is comparable to other commercial Shoulder retractors. We expect that the reproducibility and accuracy of the patient set-up could be improved by using the home made Shoulder retractor in the head and neck radiation treatment.

목 적 : 본 연구에서는 두경부 암 환자의 방사선 치료 시 Neck node lower region까지 Target이 위치한 환자의 경우 기존의 상품화 된 두 가지 고정용구와 자체개발한 Shoulder Retractor의 유용성을 비교 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 치료한 두경부암 환자 6명을 대상으로 사용한 고정용구의 종류에 따라 각각 2명씩 분류하여 좌, 우 Shoulder 위치변화와 Set up의 정확성을 OBI를 이용한 2D/2D 영상정합 위치보정 후 좌표 분석을 통해 비교하여 유용성을 확인해 보았다. 결 과 : 고정용구 종류에 따른 영상정합 위치보정 값(OBI A-P상 좌, 우 Shoulder 위치변화값)에 대한 평균값과 표준편차는 A그룹에서는 RT.Shoulder $1.07mm{\pm}3.99mm$, LT.Shoulder $-4.35mm{\pm}2.09mm$이고, B그룹에서는 RT.Shoulder $-0.37{\pm}5.91mm$, LT.Shoulder $1.26{\pm}5.28mm$, C그룹에서는 RT.Shoulder $-0.63{\pm}2.44mm$, LT.Shoulder $0.25mm{\pm}1.61mm$으로 나타났다. SET UP의 영상유도좌표 분석에서는 평균 및 표준편차 값이 A그룹에서 Vrt $-2.06{\pm}2.68mm$, Lat $-1.11{\pm}8.15mm$, Lng $0.34{\pm}3.78mm$, Rot $0.51{\pm}0.77^{\circ}$이고, B그룹에서 Vrt은 $-1.18{\pm}1.82mm$, Lat $-0.94{\pm}2.13mm$, Lng $-0.67{\pm}1.98mm$, Rot $0.91{\pm}1.04^{\circ}$이고, C그룹에서 Vrt은 $0.12{\pm}2.18mm$, Lat에서 $-0.79{\pm}1.62mm$, Lng에서 $-0.79{\pm}2.64mm$, Rot $0{\pm}0.49^{\circ}$으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 자체개발한 고정용구는 좌,우 Shoulder의 위치변화에 대한 재현성을 유지시킴에 있어 유용함을 알수있었고, 환자 변위요소(환자가 잡은 줄을 놓치는 현상과 발 끝의 위치와 모양에 따라 잡은줄이 한쪽으로 치우치는 현상)와 환자의 체중 변화로 인한 환자 자세의 고정문제를 줄임으로써 Set up의 오차를 줄이고 환자의 재현성을 유지시키는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
