螺旋断层放疗系统原理及其应用

目的：研究螺旋断层放疗系统的结构及治疗工作原理，初步探讨该设备在临床中的应用价值。方法：对国内第一台螺旋断层放疗设备系统展开研究，初步探讨螺旋断层与传统放疗技术相比在临床应用中的技术优势。结果：螺旋断层放疗系统是目前一种具有全新治疗技术的设备，其在CT的基础上融合直线加速器技术而得到了独一无二的新型组合，同时具备2种机器的功能特性。该系统已被证明了既能实现优异的调强放射治疗．又能做出卓越的图像引导放射治疗，甚至剂量引导下的放射治疗技术，开创了调强放射治疗（IMRT）计划、治疗实施和验证为一体。结论：图像引导下放射治疗（IGRT）和调强放射治疗技术，开辟了肿瘤放射治疗的新领域，它们在更好地控制肿瘤的情况下改善了患者的生存质量。Tomotherapy作为从一开始就被设计用来进行IGRT和IMRT治疗的设备．一直站在了技术发展的最前沿．而且将IGRT和IMRT技术发展得更为简单而高效。

Principle and Application of Helical Tomotherapy

Objective To research the structure and principle of Helical Tomotherapy, and study the clinical application value of the equipment system. Methods As the first helical radiotherapy system in the mainland of China, its constructions, structure and principle were analyzed and discussed. Results Helical Tomotherapy is a new kind of radiotherapy equipment. The Hi-Art treatment system is a combination of a LINAC and a CT scanner capable of having the function of both systems. It was approved to achieve the best intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), used for adjusting the setup position of the patient with MVCT and as the basis for dose reconstruction and other adaptive radiotherapy processes. It is the first integrated planning, delivery and verification system for IMRT. Conclusion Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and IMRT have introduced a new era in radiation oncology which will better fight cancer and simultaneously improve the patients' quality of life. Having been designed from the ground up for IGRT and IMRT, the tomotherapy system is in the forefront of technical advancements for efficacy and processes to make it efficiently.
