利用验证计划数据分析不同机器与计划中心点重合性

目的 根据调强验证计划的通过率数据,研究两台加速器的机器中心与计划中心的重合性。方法 选取美国瓦里安加速器调强验证计划21例,瑞典医科达加速器调强验证计划20例,采用的通过标准为3 mm/3%。测量计划中心位置在x、y轴向上分别移动-2、-1、0、1、2 mm时的γ通过率,拟合二次曲线求解γ通过率最大时两台加速器分别在x、y轴上的取值。χ²检验γ₀通过率差异。结果 γ_-2、γ_-1、γ₀、γ₁、γ₂通过率平均值x轴向瓦里安加速器分别为(92.56±3.27)%、(96.53±1.82)%、(96.13±1.41)%、(90.14±2.87)%、(82.28±4.69)%,医科达加速器分别为(94.82±2.04)%、(97.05±2.02)%、(98.38±1.33)%、(97.96±1.44)%、(94.49±2.34)%;y轴向瓦里安加速器分别为(90.10±4.64)%、(94.87±2.88)%、(95.89±1.57)%、(92.39±3.42)%、(85.62±7.49)%,医科达加速器分别为(90.58±5.25)%、(96.17±3.14)%、(98.27±1.34)%、(97.71±1.63)%、(94.29±3.84)%。两台加速器γ₀通过率相近(P=0.332)。γ通过率最大时x、y轴向瓦里安加速器分别取值-0.65、-0.30 mm,医科达加速器分别取值0.01、0.30 mm。结论 同一计划系统中不同加速器实际射野中心点与计划中心点的重合不同,应该在临床工作中予以重视。

A study of the iso-center point coincidence between accelerator and radiotherapy planning system

Objective To study the iso-center point coincidence of two accelerators with treatment planning system (TPS) based on γ passing rates of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan verification.Methods Twenty-one IMRT plans were verified by Varian accelerator and twenty by Elekta accelerator with a gamma criterion of 3 mm/3％.The passing rates were measured when the iso-center point of TPS had-2,-1,0,1,and 2 mm shift in the x or y direction.A binomial curve of γwas fit to figure out the values of the two accelerators on the x and y axes when γ value reached the maximum.The γ pass rate difference was analysed by x2 test.Results The mean values of γ-2,γ-1,γ0,γ1,and γ2 in the x direction were (92.56±3.27) ％,(96.53± 1.82) ％,(96.13± 1.41) ％,(90.14± 2.87) ％,and (82.28± 4.69) ％ for Varian accelerator,and (94.82± 2.04) ％,(97.05± 2.02) ％,(98.38± 1.33) ％,(97.96± 1.44) ％,and (94.49±2.34)％ for Elekta accelerator.There was no significant difference in the mean value of γ0between the two accelerators (P=0.332).When γvalue reached the maximum,the values on the x and y axes were0.65 and-0.30 mm for Varian accelerator and 0.01 and 0.30 mm for Elekta accelerator,respectively.Conclusions In the same TPS,different accelerators have different degrees of coincidence of the actual field center point with the iso-center point of TPS,to which more attention should be paid in clinical practice.
