摘要目的 探索IGRT在保障鼻咽癌IMRT精确性中的应用.方法 应用直线加速器OBI系统对10例鼻咽癌患者实施IMRT,观察并记录每次摆位后、体位调整后、治疗后的IGRT,分析其影像与CT模拟定位影像之间的摆位差异.结果 摆位后左右、头脚、前后方向误差分别为(0.22±1.00)、(-0.37±1.28)、(0.04±1.36) mm;体位调整后对应为(0.29±0.76)、(-0.04±0.78)、(-0.01±0.92) mm;治疗后对应为(0.20±0.78)、(0.16±0.80)、(0.05±0.92) mm.摆位后左右、头脚、前后方向误差≤1 mm概率分别为81.0%、77.6%、88.2%;体位调整后对应为92.5%、96.4%、96.4%;治疗后对应为91.7%、94.9%、96.8%.结论 鼻咽癌患者实施分次IMRT过程中进行OBI系统下的精准IGRT技术非常重要,必要时需参照摆位后的IGRT影像调整患者的放疗体位,修正摆位误差,有效提高分次IMRT的精确性.

abstractsObjective To examine the application of On-Board Imaging (OBI) system-based image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in the improvement of the precision of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Ten patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were treated with IMRT using the OBI system. The IGRT images after positioning, position adjustment, and treatment were observed and recorded to investigate the image difference between CT simulation and IGRT. Results The deviations in the x (lateral), y (cranial-caudal), and z (ventral-dorsal) directions between CT simulation and IGRT images were 0.22±1.00 mm,-0.37±1.28 mm, and 0.04±1.36 mm, respectively, after positioning, 0.29±0.76 mm,-0.04±0.78 mm, and -0.01±0.92 mm, respectively, after position adjustment, and 0.20±0.78 mm, 0.16±0.80 mm, and 0.05±0.92 mm, respectively, after treatment. The probabilities of a ≤1 mm deviation in the x, y, and z directions were 81.0%, 77.6%, and 88.2%, respectively, after positioning, 92.5%, 96.4%, and 96.4%, respectively, after position adjustment, and 91.7%, 94.9%, and 96.8%, respectively, after treatment. Conclusions The application of OBI system-based IGRT is very important in the improvement of the precision of fractionated IMRT for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The position of the patient should be adjusted based on the IGRT image after positioning in order to correct set-up error and effectively increase the precision of fractionated IMRT.
