目的:调强放射治疗的剂量学质量保证是一项较为繁琐的工作.本文主要探讨二维阵列实施螺旋断层凋强计划的剂量学特性,并对其在日常旋转调强放疗质量保证中的地位进行评估及分析.方法:采用Sun Nuclear公司MapCHECK~(TM)二维半导体探测器阵列及其相配套MapPHAN等效固体水模体对10例螺旋断层计划实施其剂量学验证.笔者将MapCHECKrM置于MapPHAN模体中,冠状及矢状位摆放分别测量获取模体中阵列的冠状和矢状面剂量分布.束流照射后将二维阵列剂量测量平面分布与计划系统模体计划中计算平面结果实现比较,定量评估其绝对剂量验证情况.探讨其不同位置摆放来实现其测量方法的可行性.结果:通过利用MapCHECKrM二维半导体阵列采用两种摆位方式对10例特定患者的螺旋断层放疗计划进行剂量学验证,软件定量分析所测量与计算绝对剂量分布的结果均显示出了较为理想的一致性.MapCHECK~(TM)阵列测量剂量分布与螺旋断层治疗计划系统模体计划中计算剂量相比较,采用Gamma法(3mm/3%、4mm/4%)进行评估,γ≤1的冠状和矢状位探测器平均通过率分别为96.8%/99.38%、96.99%/99.49%.建立了3%/3mm(通过率为90%)的Gamma分析推荐标准.结论:MapCHECK~(TM)二维阵列可成功地实现螺旋断层调强计划的剂量学验证，提供了一套精确而快捷的旋转剂量学验证工具.

Dose Analysis of a Diode Array for Dose Verification of Rotational Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Planning

Objective: Quality assurance (QA) of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) dosimetry is a laborious task. The goal of this work is to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of a new 2D diode array and assess the role it can play in routine MRT QA. Methods: A diode array, MapCHECK~(TM) and MapPHAN phantom from Sun Nuclear corporation (USC) were used for verifying the dose distribution of 10 tomotherapy IMRT plan cases. The combined phantom was set up to measure the dose distribution from coronal and sagittal orientations. After MVCT registration, the measured dose distributions of the coronal and sagittal planes were compared with those from calculation in the planning system. The results were evaluated by the absolute doses. The feasibility of the different measuring methods were studied. Results: The dose distribution measured by the MapCHECK~(TM) 2D array was well consistent with that calculated by tomotherapy planning system. In the comparison of the MapCHECK~(TM) measured versus planning system calculated using the 3mm/3% and 4mm/4% γ criteria, the number of detectors with γ parameter ≤ 1 was 96.8%/99.38% and 96.99%/99.49% average of the 10 cases respectively, for coronal and sagittal orientations. The acceptance criteria which is the combined 3mm/3% analysis would be introduced. And the number of points required to "pass" was generally 90%. Conclusions: MapCHECK~(TM) with MapPHAN phantom has been successfully tested for HT dose verification, and offers users an accurate and convenient rotational dosimetry solution.
