用于放疗剂量验证的新型片状Presage胶体剂量计特性研究
Dose response characterization of novel presage sheets for radiotherapy dose verification
摘要目的:明确用于放疗剂量验证的新型片状Presage胶体剂量计的吸收光谱、剂量线性、量程、稳定性等关键剂量响应特性。方法:使用放疗加速器对同批次片状Presage剂量计进行系列照射实验,使用分光光度计测量照射前后剂量计在400~700 nm可见光范围内的吸收光谱,使用胶片平板扫描仪测量照射前后R-G-B 3通道的吸光度变化。结果:片状Presage在628 nm处有明显吸收峰且峰值吸光度随受照剂量呈显著线性变化趋势( R2=0.999 9),而在490 nm附近存在平缓吸收谷且谷区吸光度随受照剂量变化不大。胶体平板扫描仪R通道的吸光度测量灵敏度远大于G与B通道,在<10 Gy范围内,R通道吸光度随受照剂量呈高度线性变化( R2=0.999 9),而在大量程范围则呈显著二次变化趋势( R2=0.999 9)。该剂量计的量程范围>94.6 Gy,在照射后1 h内吸光度变化可忽略,之后则呈现缓慢上升趋势,上升速度与受照剂量呈正相关,同时,未发现剂量梯度区出现梯度模糊现象。 结论:新型片状Presage胶体剂量计在一定范围内具有良好剂量线性,量程大、梯度保持性好、无分割效应,提示在大分割多靶点放疗的积分剂量验证中具有潜在应用优势。

abstractsObjective:To characterize the key dose response properties of the novel presage sheet dosimeters for radiotherapy dose verification, including absorption spectra, linearity, dose range and stability.Methods:The same batch of presage sheet dosimeters were irradiated by a radiotherapy linac. The absorption spectra within 400-700 nm were read out with a spectrophotometer, and the R-G-B3 absorption changes read out with a film flatbed scanner was compared before and after irradiation.Results:An absorption peak was clearly identified at 628 nm, where absorptions change in high linearity with delivered doses ( R2=0.9999). A flat valley region is identified around 490 nm, where dose induced absorption changes were negligible. The readout sensitivity of the R-channel of the flatbed scanner was higher than both in green and blue channels. In the dose range below 10 Gy, the R-channel absorptions are in significant linearity with doses ( R2=0.9999), with absorptions change in an obvious quadratic trend in the range beyond 10 Gy ( R2=0.9999). The dose range of presage sheets was more than 94.6 Gy. The absorptions were well preserved within 1 h post-irradation, and then are shown to increase gradually, where the increase speeds are dose-related. The post-irradiation integrity of dose falloff gradients are shown with negligible gradient blurring. Conclusions:The novel presage sheets shown to have reasonable dose response linearity, large dose range, desirable post-irradiation dose gradient integrity and negligible fractionation effect, which indicates its great potentials in integral dose verification of high-dose and multiple target radiotherapy deliveries.
