摘要目的:比较瓦里安OBI引导系统的千伏级锥形束CT (KV-CBCT)、千伏级平面成像(KV-planar)、兆伏级电子射野影像装置(MV-EPID)3种图像系统的综合性能，探索3种系统在鼻咽癌每日图像引导放疗中联合应用的价值。方法:利用人体仿真头颈模体在左右/前后/头脚方向分别进行KV-CBCT、KV-planar、MV-EPID扫描和配准，方差检验3种图像引导系统的摆位误差、配准时间、额外辐射剂量、图像质量等。结果:KV-CBCT、KV-planar、MV-EPID在左右/前后/头脚方向摆位误差分别为(0.00±5.43)/(-0.02±5.49)/(0.02±5.58)、(0.04±5.49)/(0.02±5.56)/(0.02±5.54)、(0.02±5.22)/(0.11±5.34)/(-0.04±5.33) mm ( P＝0.999、1.000、0.989)；平均耗时分别为(200±45)、(120±36)、(115±42) s；额外辐射剂量由低到高分别为KV-planar、KV-CBCT、MV-EPID；图像质量由低到高分为MV-EPID、KV-planar、KV-CBCT。 结论:3种图像引导系统均可满足鼻咽癌图像引导放疗的要求，综合3种总体性能建议在鼻咽癌每日图像引导中1次CBCT+4次KV-planar/周、EPID作为备用系统的图像引导策略。此方案充分利用CBCT的高图像质量、KV-planar的低辐射等优势，实现鼻咽癌体积变化的定期检测和高精度放疗实施。

abstractsObjective:To compare the comprehensive performance of three Varian on-board image (OBI) image systems (KV-CBCT, KV-planar and MV-EPID) and to explore the value of the combined application of these three systems in daily image-guided radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer.Methods:KV-CBCT, KV-planar and MV-EPID scanning and registration were carried out in the left and right/abdominal and back/head and foot direction on human head and neck phantom. The set-up error, registration time, additional radiation dose and image quality of the three systems were compared by F-test.Results:KV-CBCT, kV-planar and MV-EPID were scanned for 55 times, respectively, and the set-up errors in the left and right/abdominal and back/head and foot direction of the three image-guided systems were (0.00±5.43)/(-0.02±5.49)/(0.02±5.58) mm, (0.04±5.49)/(0.02±5.56)/(0.02±5.54) mm, (0.02±5.22)/(0.11±5.34)/(-0.04±5.33) mm, respectively ( P=0.999, 1.000, 0.989). The average time consuming was (200±45) s, (120±36) s and (115±42) s; the additional radiation dose from low to high was kV-planar, KV-CBCT and MV-EPID; the image quality from low to high was MV-EPID, kV-planar and KV-CBCT. Conclusions:Three image-guided systems can meet the requirements of image-guided radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. Based on the overall performance of the three systems, 1 CBCT+ 4 kV planar per week is recommended and EPID should be used as a backup system in daily image-guided radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. This scheme makes full use of the high image quality of CBCT and the low radiation of kV planar to realize the regular detection of nasopharyngeal cancer volume change and the implementation of high-precision radiotherapy.
