Abstract

The recent radiation therapy field can provide treatment which guarantees a high degree of accuracy, due to patient set-up using various image guided radiation therapy(IGRT) instruments. But the additional absorbed dose to patient's normal tissues is increasing. Therefore, this study measured the absorbed dose to surrounding normal tissues which is caused by patient set-up using OBI, CBCT, ExacTrac, among various IGRT instruments. The absorbed dose to the head, the chest, the abdomen, and the pelvis from CBCT was 12.57 mGy, 20.82 mGy, 82.93 mGy, and 52.70 mGy, respectively. Also, the absorbed dose from OBI and ExacTrac ranged from 0.76 to 8.58 mGy and from 0.14 to 0.63 mGy, respectively. As a result, CBCT's absorbed dose was far higher than other instruments. CBCT's surface dose was far higher than others, too, but OBI's entrance skin dose was almost the same as CBCT's.

최근 방사선 치료 분야에서는 다양한 영상유도 방사선 치료(IGRT) 장치들을 이용한 환자 셋업으로 고도의 정밀성이 보장된 치료가 가능해 졌다. 그러나 환자의 정상 조직에 받는 추가 선량 또한 더불어 증가되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영상유도 방사선 치료 장치 중 OBI, CBCT, ExacTrac를 이용한 환자 셋업에 주변 정상 조직에 받는 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 결과 팬텀 중심부의 선량이 CBCT의 경우 두부 12.57 mGy, 흉부 20.82 mGy, 복부 82.93 mGy, 골반부위 52.70 mGy로 측정되었으며 OBI는 0.76 ~ 8.58 mGy, ExacTrac의 경우 0.14 ~ 0.63 mGy로 CBCT의 피폭선량이 다른 장비에 비해 월등히 높게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 표면 선량의 경우에서도 CBCT가 다른 장비에 비해 높게 나타났으나 입사 피부표면 선량(Enterance skin dose)의 경우 OBI도 CBCT의 피폭선량과 거의 비슷한 흡수선량이 측정 되었다.
