성문암 세기조절 방사선치료에서 변형영상정합을 이용한 선량변화 평가

본 연구는 IMRT가 적용된 성문암 환자에 대하여 CBCT영상과 변형영상 정합기법을 이용하여 치료기간 동안 실제 환자에게 전달되는 선량 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. B-spline 알고리즘을 사용한 변형영상정합 시스템을 통해 치료 중 1주 간격으로 얻은 CBCT를 재구성하고 치료계획을 재계산하여 종양과 결정장기의 선량 분포를 비교하였다. 체중에 따른 체적변화는 3~5 주부터 평균 1.38~2.04 kg로 증가하였으며 체표면의 변화는 평균 2.1 mm로 감소하였다. 또한, 3주 이후의 경동맥에 전달된 선량은 계획되었던 값보다 최대 8.76%로 증가하였고, 갑상선샘은 26.4%로 감소하였다. 종양의 물리적의 평가인자인 PITV, TCI, rDHI, mDHI 그리고, CN은 치료 계획된 값보다 각각 평균 4.32%, 5.78%, 44.54%, 12.32% 그리고, 7.11%로 감소하였다. PTV에 대한 $D_{max}$ 는 평균 2.99% 증가하였고, $D_{mean}$ , $V_{67.50}$ , $D_{95}$ 는 각각 평균 1.52%, 5.78%, 11.94%로 감소하였다. 체중변화에 따른 체적의 변화가 없더라도 체형변화는 발생하였고, 좁은 여유마진을 가지는 IMRT는 이러한 변화에 민감하게 반응하였다. 성문암에 대한 IMRT 적용 시 환자의 체중변화를 관찰과 함께 변화를 기록하고 치료 중 변형영상정합 시스템을 이용하여 선량분포를 평가할 필요가 있다. 최종적으로 치료 중 실제 전달되는 선량평가는 적응형치료계획을 통하여 확인하고 정확한 선량전달이 필요하다고 사료된다. 【The purpose of this study is to evaluate the variation of the dose which is delivered to the patients with glottis cancer under IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) by using the 3D registration with CBCT (cone beam CT) images and the DIR (deformable image registration) techniques. The CBCT images which were obtained at a one-week interval were reconstructed by using B-spline algorithm in DIR system, and doses were recalculated based on the newly obtained CBCT images. The dose distributions to the tumor and the critical organs were compared with reference. For the change of volume depending on weight at 3 to 5 weeks, there was increased of 1.38~2.04 kg on average. For the body surface depending on weight, there was decreased of 2.1 mm. The dose with transmitted to the carotid since three weeks was increased compared be more than 8.76% planned, and the thyroid gland was decreased to 26.4%. For the physical evaluation factors of the tumor, PITV, TCI, rDHI, mDHI, and CN were decreased to 4.32%, 5.78%, 44.54%, 12.32%, and 7.11%, respectively. Moreover, $D_{max}$ , $D_{mean}$ , $V_{67.50}$ , and $D_{95}$ for PTV were increased or decreased to 2.99%, 1.52%, 5.78%, and 11.94%, respectively. Although there was no change of volume depending on weight, the change of body types occurred, and IMRT with the narrow composure margin sensitively responded to such a changing. For the glottis IMRT, the patient's weight changes should be observed and recorded to evaluate the actual dose distribution by using the DIR techniques, and more the adaptive treatment planning during the treatment course is needed to deliver the accurate dose to the patients.】
