Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure the 3 dimensional dose distribution of Gamma knife $Perfection^{TM}$, make a comparative analysis of the result and establish the measurement method for the procedures using EBT3 film. The dose distributions of the Gamma knife $Perfection^{TM}$ installed in two hospitals were evaluated in accuracy and precision. For accuracy, the difference between the mechanical center axis and the dose center axis was assessed on a 4 mm collimator. The allowed difference in accuracy is within 0.3 mm and it was measured as 0.098 mm, 0.195 mm for A hospital and 0.229 mm, and 0.223 mm for B hospital. For precision the difference between the FWHM(Full Width at Half Maximum) of Gamma Plan and measurement in the 4, 8, and 16 mm collimators was calculated. The allowed difference in precision is less than ${\pm}1mm$. The value of the hospital A was -0.283 ~ 0.583 mm, and the hospital B was -0.857 ~ 0.810 mm. When analyzing the dose distributions using the image-j program, it is necessary to establish a clearer reference point of the measurement point, and it is considered that the comparison of the dose distribution should be performed in actual treatment irradiation dose with a high dose usable film.

본 연구는 EBT3 필름을 이용하여 감마나이프 퍼펙션 모델의 3차원적인 선량분포 측정하고 기준값과 비교 분석하여 표준화된 측정방법의 기초로 활용하고자 한다. 2개 종합병원에 설치된 감마나이프 퍼펙션 모델의 선량 분포를 EBT3 필름을 이용하여 정확도와 정밀도를 평가하였다. 정확도 평가를 위해 4 mm 콜리메터를 사용하여 기계적인 중심축과 선량중심축의 일치도를 측정하였다. A병원 0.098 mm, 0.195 mm 이며 B 병원 0.229 mm, 0.223 mm 로 허용 오차 0.3 mm 이하로 측정되었다. 정밀도 평가는 4, 8, 16 mm 콜리메터(collimater) 각각의 x, y, z 3차원면 에서의 반치폭(FWHM : Full Width at Half Maximum)을 이미지-제이 프로그램을 이용하여 평가하였다. A 병원은 -0.283~0.583 mm, B 병원은 -0.857~0.810 mm로 50%선 ${\pm}1mm$ 이하의 기준에 적합하였다. 이미지-제이 프로그램을 이용한 선량 분포 분석의 경우 측정자 간의 오차가 발생 가능함으로 측정점에 대한 명확한 기준을 확립할 필요가 있으며, 감마나이프 방사선 수술이 시행되어지는 고선량 영역에서 사용 가능한 선량영역이 높은 필름을 이용한 치료계획과 실제 치료 조사면의 비교가 필요하다고 생각된다.
