  • 세기조절방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, IMRT)의 정도관리를 위해서 독립적인 방법으로 선량검증을 하는 것은 중요하다. 독립적 선량검증을 위해 팬톰과 이온전리함을 이용한 측정 방법이 보편적으로 이루어지지만 많은 시간과 노력이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 세기조절방사선치료 시 시간에 따른 다엽콜리메이터의 움직임을 기록한 dynalog 파일을 이용하여 치료계획에서 도출된 총 실제 플루언스와 실제 치료 시의 모니터유닛(monitor unit, MU) 공간분포를 비교함으로써 간편한 세기조절방사선치료 정도관리 기술을 개발하였다. DICOM RT plan 파일로부터 총 실제 플루언스를 추출하고 MATLAB 코드를 이용하여 실제 치료 시 MU 공간분포를 dynalog 파일로부터 계산하였다. 개발된 방법의 효용성을 검증하기 위해 단계별조사기법과 동적조사기법으로 치료 받은 각 5명의 환자 데이터를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 분석 방법은 상용프로그램(Verisoft 3.1, PTW, German)에서 제공하는 감마인덱스를 사용하였다. 분석 결과 실제 치료 시의 MU 공간분포와 치료계획 상의 MU 공간분포 일치도가 평균 $97.8{\pm}1.33$%로 높은 일치도를 나타냈다. MU 공간분포 재구성의 정확도는 동적조사기법보다 단계별조사기법이 평균 1.4% 높았다. 본 연구에서 개발된 기술을 통해 세기조절방사선치료의 선량검증을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있다. 또한 분할치료 시 선량보정에 적용함으로써 맞춤형치료(adaptive radiotherapy)를 위한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the dosimetric and clinical feasibility of volumetric modulated arc based hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (RapidArc) treatment for large acoustic schwannoma (AS >10cc). Materials and Methods: Ten AS patients were immobilized using BrainLab mask. They were subject to multimodality imaging (magnetic resonance and computed tomography) to contour target and organs at risk (brainstem and cochlea). Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based stereotactic plans were optimized in Eclipse (V11) treatment planning system (TPS) using progressive resolution optimizer-III and final dose calculations were performed using analytical anisotropic algorithm with 1.5 mm grid resolution. All AS presented in this study were treated with VMAT based HSRT to a total dose of 25Gy in 5 fractions (5fractions/week). VMAT plan contains 2-4 non-coplanar arcs. Treatment planning was performed to achieve at least 99% of PTV volume (D99) receives 100% of prescription dose (25Gy), while dose to OAR's were kept below the tolerance limits. Dose-volume histograms (DVH) were analyzed to assess plan quality. Treatments were delivered using upgraded 6 MV un-flattened photon beam (FFF) from Clinac-iX machine. Extensive pretreatment quality assurance measurements were carried out to report on quality of delivery. Point dosimetry was performed using three different detectors, which includes CC13 ion-chamber, Exradin A14 ion-chamber and Exradin W1 plastic scintillator detector (PSD) which have measuring volume of $0.13cm^3$, $0.009cm^3$ and $0.002cm^3$ respectively. Results: Average PTV volume of AS was 11.3cc (${\pm}4.8$), and located in eloquent areas. VMAT plans provided complete PTV coverage with average conformity index of 1.06 (${\pm}0.05$). OAR's dose were kept below tolerance limit recommend by American Association of Physicist in Medicine task group-101(brainstem $V_{0.5cc}$ < 23Gy, cochlea maximum < 25Gy and Optic pathway <25Gy). PSD resulted in superior dosimetric accuracy compared with other two detectors (p=0.021 for PSD.

  • 본 논문에서는 세기조절방사선치료와 이중회전(double arcs)을 통한 래피드아크 치료용 치료계획을 수행하였고, 각각의 선량분포와 DVH의 특성을 비교, 평가하였다. 또한 정도관리를 통해 래피드아크 치료에 대한 신뢰도 및 정확도를 평가하고 이러한 과정들을 통해 환자에 대한 적절한 치료방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 두 치료기술에 대한 치료계획 시 임상표적 용적(Clinical Target Volume, CTV)과 치료표적용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV)과 직장에 동일한 최적화 조건을 적용하였고, 그 외 정상조직에 대하여 최적화 조건 없이 가장 단순화한 조건에서 최적화의 능력과 결과 차이를 비교하였다. 래피드아크는 세기조절방사선치료와 비교하였을 때 동일한 선량제한치 적용 후 결과는 종양에 전달되는 선량은 증가하고 손상위험장기에 대해서는 더 보호하는 능력을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 세기조절방사선치료와 비교하였을 때 치료부피와 주변 장기의 부작용에 대하여 주변장기에 대한 조사선량은 줄이면서 종양에는 더 많은 선량이 조사되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 래피드아크 치료는 기존에 시행하고 있는 세기조절방사선치료 기법보다 더욱 최적의 선량 분포를 구현하고, 치료시간에 있어 보다 효율적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 정밀한 치료 기법인 만큼 정확한 래피드아크 치료를 시행하기 위해서는 치료 계획과 실제로 시행되는 치료가 일치하는지 확인하는 정도관리 과정이 반드시 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • New multiband BVRI light curves of NSVS 1461538 were obtained as a byproduct during the photometric observations of our program star PV Cas for three years from 2011 to 2013. The light curves indicate characteristics of a typical W-subtype W UMa eclipsing system, displaying a flat bottom at primary eclipse and the O'Connell effect, rather than those of an Algol/b Lyrae eclipsing variable classified by the northern sky variability survey (NSVS). A total of 35 times of minimum lights were determined from our observations (20 timings) and the SuperWASP measurements (15 ones). A period study with all the timings shows that the orbital period may vary in a sinusoidal manner with a period of about 5.6 yr and a small semi-amplitude of about 0.008 day. The cyclical period variation can be interpreted as a light-time effect due to a tertiary body with a minimum mass of 0.71 M. Simultaneous analysis of the multiband light curves using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney binary model shows that NSVS 1461538 is a genuine W-subtype W UMa contact binary with the hotter primary component being less massive and the system shows a low mass ratio of q(mc/mh)=3.51, a high orbital inclination of 88.7°, a moderate fill-out factor of 30 %, and a temperature difference of ΔT=412 K. The O'Connell effect can be similarly explained by cool spots on either the hotter primary star or the cool secondary star. A small third-light corresponding to about 5 % and 2 % of the total systemic light in the B and V bandpasses, respectively, supports the third-body hypothesis proposed by the period study. Preliminary absolute dimensions of the system were derived and used to look into its evolutionary status with other W UMa binaries in the mass-radius and mass-luminosity diagrams. A possible evolution scenario of the system was also discussed in the context of the mass vs mass ratio diagram.

  • To investigate monitoring unit (MU) efficiency and plan quality of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using flattening-filter free (FFF) photon beam in association with target size and location. A virtual patient was generated in Eclipse$^{TM}$ (ver. A10, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA) treatment planning system. The length of major and minor axis in axial view was 50 cm and 30 cm, respectively. Cylindrical-shaped targets were generated inside that patient at the center (symmetric target) and in the periphery (asymmetric target, 7.5 cm away from the center of the patient to the right direction) of the virtual patient. The longitudinal length was 10 cm and the diameters were 2, 5, 10 and 15 cm. Total 8 targets were generated. RapidArc$^{TM}$ plans using TrueBeam STx$^{TM}$ were generated for each target. Two full arcs were used and the axis of rotation of the gantry was set to be at the center of the virtual patient. Total MU, homogeneity index (HI), target mean dose, the value of gradient measure and body mean dose were calculated. In the case of symmetric targets, averaged total MU of FFF plan was 23% and 19% higher than that of flattening filter (FF) plan when using 6 MV and 10 MV photons, respectively. The difference of HI, target mean dose, gradient measure and body mean dose between FF and FFF was less than 0.04, 2.6%, 0.1 cm and 2.2%, respectively. For the asymmetric targets, total MU of FFF plan was 21% and 32% was higher than that of FF when using 6 MV and 10 MV photons, respectively. The homogeneity of the target was always worse when using FFF than using FF. The maximum difference of HI was 0.22. The target mean dose of FFF was 3.2% and 4.1% higher than that of FF for the 6 MV and 10 MV, respectively. The difference of gradient measure was less than 0.1 cm. The body mean dose was higher when using FFF than FF about 4.2% and 2.8% for the 6 MV and 10 MV, respectively. No significant differences between VMAT plans of FFF beam and FF beam were observed in terms of quality of treatment plan. The HI was higher when using FFF 10 MV photons for the asymmetric targets. The MU was increased noticeably when using FFF photon beams.

  • Purpose: To compare the dosimetrical and radiobiological parameters among various volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) techniques using restricted and continuous arc beams for left-sided breast cancer. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with left-sided breast cancer without regional nodes were retrospectively selected and prescribed the dose of 42.6 Gy in 16 fractions on the planning target volume (PTV). For each patient, three plans were generated using the $Eclipse^{TM}$ system (Varian Medical System, Palo Alto, CA) with one partial arc 1pVMAT, two partial arcs 2pVMAT, and two tangential arcs 2tVMAT. All plans were calculated through anisotropic analytic algorithm and photon optimizer with 6 MV photon beam of $VitalBEAM^{TM}$. The same dose objectives for each plan were used to achieve a fair comparison during optimization. Results: For PTV, dosimetrical parameters such as Homogeneity index, conformity index, and conformal number were superior in 2pVMAT than those in both techniques. $V_{95%}$, which indicates PTV coverage, was 91.86%, 96.60%, and 96.65% for 1pVMAT, 2pVMAT, and 2tVMAT, respectively. In most organs at risk (OARs), 2pVMAT significantly reduced the delivered doses compared with the other techniques, excluding the doses to contralateral lung. For the analysis of radiobiological parameters, a significant difference in normal tissue complication probability was observed in ipsilateral lung while no difference was observed in the other OARs. Conclusions: Our study showed that 2pVMAT had better plan quality and normal tissue sparing than 1pVMAT and 2tVMAT but not for all parameters. Therefore, 2pVMAT could be considered the priority choice for the treatment planning for left breast cancer.
