容积调强弧形治疗冠矢状面剂量验证的初步探讨

目的 初步探讨容积调强弧形治疗(VMAT)在冠状面和矢状面的剂量验证意义。方法 选取 12例癌症患者的VMAT计划,在多插孔圆柱形体模内插入2个0.125 cm³的电离室探头进行点剂量测量。采用平面二维矩阵电离室及其组合体模,分别在冠状面和矢状面摆位方式下进行γ通过率的剂量验证。结果 在高剂量区域(>最大剂量的80%)和低剂量区域(≤最大剂量的80%)内,点剂量测量与计算结果平均误差分别为1.5%和1.7%。在冠状面和矢状面下二维电离室矩阵中心探头测量的点剂量与计算结果的平均差异为1.7%和1.8%。采用2%/2 mm、3%/3 mm标准的平均通过率分别为93.7%、97.2%。 结论 冠状面和矢状面VMAT剂量验证为临床VMAT计划提供了有意义的数据。

The elementary discussion of volumetric modulated arc therapy using the orthogonal plane dose verification

Objective This study was to explore the feasibility of using the orthogonal plane dose formed by the coronal and sagittal plane to verify the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan. Methods The VMAT plans of 12 patients were included in this study. The orthogonal plane dose formed by the coronal and sagittal plane were measured based on the combination of 2D ionization chamber array and multicube phantom,and the point dose were measured based on a multiple hole cylindrical phantom attached with two 0.125 cm³ ionization chamber probes. Results In the measurement of the point dose, the average error was 1.5% in high dose area (more than 80% of maximum), and 1.7% in low dose area (less than 80% of maximum), respectively. The discrepancy of point dose measurement was 1.3% between the 2D ionization chamber array and the VMAT planning system. In the measurement of the orthogonal plane dose, the pass rate of γ were 93.7% for 2%/2 mm and 97.2% for 3%/3 mm. Conclusion It is reliable for using the orthogonal plane dose formed by the coronal and sagittal plane to verify the VMAT plan.
