脑胶质瘤术后VMAT与IMRT放疗技术间比较

目的:比较脑胶质瘤术后容积旋转调强(Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy,VMAT)计划与静态调强(IntensityModulated Radiation Therapy,IMRT)计划,讨论VMAT的剂量学特性,分析VMAT在脑胶质瘤术后放射治疗中的应用。材料与方法:选取10例颅内肿瘤患者,采用Monaco治疗计划系统,分别制作VMAT计划与IMRT计划,处方剂量全部为PTV:60 Gy/30f。比较两组计划的剂量分布图、DVH图、适形度指数(CI)、均匀指数(HI)、治疗时间、治疗跳数(MU)、危及器官受量。结果:两组计划靶区剂量分布及适形度均较好,CI、HI数相近(P>0.05),但VMAT组的治疗时间和MU均优于IMRT组(P<0.05)。在危及器官受量方面,两组计划的脑干与视交叉的平均剂量相近(P>0.05),而视神经、视网膜、晶体和周围正常脑组织的平均剂量,VMAT组明显低于IMRT组(P<0.05)。结论:在脑胶质瘤术后的放射治疗中,VMAT与IMRT的靶区剂量分布相近。VMAT的优势在于大大缩小缩短治疗时间、减少MU,同时减少了部分危及器官受量。

A Comparison of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy for Postoperative Glioma

Objective: This planning study compares IMRT with VMAT for discussing the dosimetric characteristics of VMAT in the intracranial tumor radiation therapy.Materials and Methods: Totally 10 treated patients of intracranial tumors were replanned to 60 Gy in 30 fractions with VMAT and IMRT using Monaco treatment planning system.We compared DVH,conformal index,homogeneity index,treatment time,monitor units,and the dose of organs at risk between the two groups.Results: There was equivalent CI and HI(P >0.05),VMAT ...
