초록
목 적: 본 연구는 6MV-FFF(Flattening Filter Free) 에너지를 사용하는 Tomotherapy, Halcyon, True-Beam 장비를 이용하여 가상의 표적 용적에 대한 표면 선량 값을 측정, 비교평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: IMRT 팬텀(IBA, Germany)을 이용하였으며 표면 선량 측정의 정확도를 높이기 위해 without bolus, 0.5 cm bolus, 1 cm bolus 총 세 가지 조건으로 전산화 단층촬영을 시행하였다. 가상의 표적 깊이에 치료 계획 용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV)을 설정하고 1회, 200 cGy로 치료 계획을 각각 수립하였다. 표면 선량 측정은 Gafchromic EBT3 필름을 전산화 치료 계획과 동일한 구간에 위치시켜 10회 반복 측정한 뒤 분석하였다. 결 과: 각 장비 별 실험 결과 without bolus, 0.5 cm bolus, 1 cm bolus 순서로 표면 선량 측정값의 평균은 Tomotherapy에서 115.2±2.0 cGy, 194.4±3.3 cGy, 200.7±2.9 cGy로 확인되었고, Halcyon에서 104.7±3.0 cGy, 180.1±10.8 cGy, 187.0±10.1 cGy로 확인되었으며, TrueBeam에서 92.4±3.2 cGy, 148.6±5.7 cGy, 155.8±6.1 cGy로 확인되었다. 세 가지 조건에서 모두 치료 계획 시스템과 동일하게 Tomotherapy, Halcyon, TrueBeam 순으로 높게 측정되었다. 결 론: Tomotherapy와 Halcyon에서 TrueBeam 장비에 비해 표면 선량이 높게 측정되었다. 치료 부위와 치료 목적에 맞춰 장비 별 특성이 고려된다면 치료 효율성의 증가뿐 아니라 환자의 치료 만족도도 높아질 것으로 사료된다.
Purpose: This study measures and compares the surface dose values in the virtual target volume using Tomotherapy, Halcyon, and TrueBeam equipment using 6MV-Flattening Filter-Free(FFF) energy. Materials and Methods: CT scan was performed under three conditions of without bolus, 0.5 cm bolus, and 1 cm bolus using an IMRT phantom (IBA, Germany). The Planning Target Volume (PTV) was set at the virtual target depth, and the treatment plan was established at 200 cGy at a time. For surface dosimetry, the Gafchromic EBT3 film was placed in the same section as the treatment planning system and repeated measurements were performed 10 times and then analyzed. Result: As a result of measuring the surface dose for each equipment, without, 0.5 cm, 1 cm bolus is in this order, and the result of Tomotherapy is 115.2±2.0 cGy, 194.4±3.3 cGy, 200.7±2.9 cGy, The result in Halcyon was 104.7±3.0 cGy, 180.1±10.8 cGy, 187.0±10.1 cGy, and the result in TrueBeam was 92.4±3.2 cGy, 148.6±5.7 cGy, 155.8±6.1 cGy, In all three conditions, the same as the treatment planning system, Tomotherapy, Halcyon, TreuBeam was measured highly in that order. Conclusion: Higher surface doses were measured in Tomotherapy and Halcyon compared to TrueBeam equipment. If the characteristics of each equipment are considered according to the treatment site and treatment purpose, it is expected that the treatment efficiency of the patient will increase as well as the treatment satisfaction of the patient.
