Abstract

Purpose : The bladder volume change was measured using ultrasonography for helping decrease the side effects and other organ variations in the location of radiation therapy for cervical cancer patients. An experiment was performed targeting patients who were treated with radiation therapy at PNUH within the period from September to December 2015. Materials and Methods : To maintain the bladder volume, each patient was instructed to drink 500 cc water before and after CT simulation, 60 minutes before the dry run. Also, the bladder volume was measured in each patient CT scan, and a 3D conformal therapy plan was designed. The bladder volumes measured before and after the CT simulation, dry run, and radiation treatment planning were compared and analyzed. Results : The average volume and average error of the bladder that were obtained from the measurement based on the CT scan images had the lowest standard deviation in the CT simulation. This means that the values that were obtained before and after the CT simulation were statistically relevant and correlative. Moreover, the bladder volume measured via ultrasonography was larger size, the average volume in the CT scan. But the values that were obtained Dry run and after the CT simulation were not statistically relevant. Conclusion : Drinking a certain amount of water helps a patient maintain his/her bladder volume for a dry run. Even then, it is difficult to maintain the bladder volume for the dry run. Also, whether or not the patients followed the directions for the dry run correctly is important.

목 적 : 자궁경부암 환자의 방사선 치료 시 다른 장기의 위치 변화 및 부작용을 줄이기 위해 방광의 체적을 일정하게 유지하도록 한 후 초음파를 이용하여 방광의 체적 변화를 측정하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2015년 9월부터 12월까지 부산대학교병원에서 방사선 치료를 받은 환자 11명을 대상으로 하였다. 방광의 체적을 일정하게 유지하기 위하여 CT치료설계 전후, 모의치료 60분전에 500 cc의 물을 마시도록 설계되었다. 치료설계 전후, 모의치료, 치료계획 시 방광의 체적을 비교분석하였다. 결 과 : CT스캔상에서 측정한 방광의 평균 체적과 오차는 치료설계시와 비교한 결과 편차가 작다. CT치료설계시와 CT치료설계직후는 통계적으로 유의하며 상관관계가 있는 것으로 보이고 초음파를 이용하여 측정한 방광의 체적은 CT상에서의 체적보다 크다. 다만 CT치료설계시와 모의치료 시는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 결 론 : 모의치료시 일정한 양의 물을 마시도록 지시한 것이 방광의 체적을 유지하는데 도움이 될수 있었다. 그러나 배변과 일정한 양의 물을 마시도록 지시하더라도 모의치료시 방광의 체적을 일정히 유지하는데는 어려움이 있었다. 또한 환자들이 지시에 따라 정확히 수행하는 여부가 중요하다.
