Abstract

Purpose: During the pelvic radiation therapy, it is performed with controlling bladder volume because the range of irradiation is changed depending on the bladder volume. Therefore in this study, we evaluate the accuracy of BVI by tracing the change of bladder volume using ultrasonic pulse diagnosis equipment(BVI 6100, Medical supply Co. LTD) Material and Methods: From January 2017 to September 2018, 19 patients who received pelvic radiation therapy at Pusan National University Hospital were included. To treat the patient, we compared that the bladder volume obtained from the BVI and the bladder volume obtained from the CBCT image then we evaluated for significance. Results: There was a significant correlation of r=0.773, BVI and CBCT in the whole volume section. However, based on the bladder volume in the RTP Image the p value was shown to be 0 at 125~175cc and lower than 0.05 at 175~275cc, And more than 0.05 at 275~375cc. Conclusions: In this study, the patient whose bladder volume is above than 275cc, there is a significance of bladder volume between BVI and CBCT image. However, we could make a decision to be undermined the reliability of BVI measurement in the case of the patient with emptied his urine. Therefore, it is possible to acquire a significant value for 175~275cc patients to use the correction value of BVI and the appropriate tolerance of volume.

목 적: 골반부 방사선 치료 시 방광체적에 따라 방사선 조사범위가 달라지기 때문에 방광체적을 조절하여 치료를 진행한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초음파펄스진단장치(BVI 6100, (주)메디칼써프라이)를 이용하여 방광체적 변화를 추적하여 BVI의 정확성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2017년 1월부터 2018년 9월까지 부산대학교병원에서 골반부 방사선 치료를 받은 환자 19명을 대상으로 하였다. 치료 시 BVI를 이용하여 획득한 방광체적과 CBCT영상에서 획득한 방광체적을 구간별로 비교한 후 그 유의성을 평가하였다. 결 과: 전체 체적 구간에서의 BVI와 CBCT는 r=0.773의 유의한 상관관계가 나타났으나 치료계획영상에서의 방광체적을 기준으로 p값이 125~175cc에서는 0, 175~275cc에서는 0.05보다 낮게, 그리고 275~375cc에서는 0.05보다 높게 나타났다. 결 론: 본 연구에서는 방광체적이 275cc 이상의 환자의 경우 BVI와 CBCT영상 간의 방광체적이 유의성이 있으나 방광을 비우는 환자의 경우 BVI측정의 신뢰성이 떨어진다고 판단할 수 있었다. 따라서 175~275cc 환자에 대해서는 BVI의 보정값을 이용하여 적절한 체적오차허용범위를 사용하면 유의한 값을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
