초록

In order to investigate the effect of set-up error on the dose delivery, this study evaluates the accuracy of dose delivery due to set-up error by applying a virtual brain tumor treatment plan using volumetric modulated rotational radiation therapy (VMAT). After obtaining a cross-sectional image with a CT device using Head Phantom, a treatment planning program was used to establish a VMAT treatment plan. Based on the treatment plan established, DQA was performed to assess the difference in dose delivery accuracy with set-up error. When the distance was changed to 7 mm with a distance of 1 mm on the basis of the measured value of 0 in the direction of Lat. and Vrt, a comparison was performed by deriving the average after 5 measurements each using a three dimensional array detector. We applied a virtual brain tumor treatment plan using VMAT. In the absence of set-up error, the measured values were 96.8%, 96.4%, 96.2% in Lat. ${\pm}1mm$, 96.2%, 95.9% in Lat. ${\pm}2mm$, 95.4%, 95.2% in Lat. ${\pm}3mm$, 92.0%, 90.1% in Lat. ${\pm}4mm$, 86.9%, 83.7% in Lat. ${\pm}5mm$, 85.6%, 80.3% in Lat. ${\pm}6mm$, 75.2%, 79.5% in Lat. ${\pm}7mm$, respectively. 96.1%, 96.1% in Vrt. ${\pm}1mm$, 95.9%, 95.7% in Vrt. ${\pm}2mm$, 95.1%, 95.1% in Vrt. ${\pm}3mm$, 91.4%, 91.5% in Vrt. ${\pm}4mm$, 88.6%, 88.3% in Vrt. ${\pm}5mm$, 83.1%, 85.6% in Vrt. ${\pm}6mm$, 79.1%, 77.2% in Vrt. ${\pm}7mm$ respectively. As the lateral and vertical error increases, the accuracy of the dose delivery decreases. In order to improve the accuracy of the dose delivery during VMAT treatment, we should try to reduce the error through accurate posture and appropriate image induction.
