鼻咽癌調強放療計劃十分復雜, 計劃質量通常與治療劑量師的經驗密切相關。本研究納入了10例不同分期的鼻咽癌患者, 基于Pinnacle3 9.2治療計劃系統腳本, 運用計算機程序設置計劃的基本參數、目標參數等, 最終自動完成鼻咽癌調強放療計劃。然后, 對自動和手動調強放療計劃進行統計學比較和臨床評估。結果顯示兩種計劃中大多數靶區和危及器官劑量學參數的差異無統計學意義。本文所述的鼻咽癌自動調強放療計劃能夠滿足臨床放療要求, 顯著減少計劃時間, 同時避免因為經驗不足等人為因素對計劃質量造成的影響。
【摘要】 目的 研究Monaco治療計劃系統中不同參數設置對容積旋轉調強放射治療(VMAT)計劃質量的影響，得出更合理的治療計劃參數設置以提高VMAT治療質量。 方法 2010年1-5月間治療3例患者，為食管癌、宮頸癌和鼻咽癌各1例，分別設置不同的計劃參數進行容積旋轉調強計劃優化，通過多種評估指標比較各VMAT計劃質量的差異，得出臨床所需的MSC、MSS、SSF、Sm、MMS和MDR共6個治療計劃參數對VMAT治療質量的影響。 結果 MSC、MSS和SSF的3個參數對VMAT治療質量不產生影響，有影響的Sm、MMS和MDR參數中，隨著Sm和MMS值的增大，VMAT計劃的劑量分布逐漸變差，但控制點數、機器跳數和照射時間均逐漸減小；隨著MDR值增大，VMAT治療的劑量分布先逐漸變差后不變，控制點數和機器跳數均是先增大后不變，而照射時間是先減小后不變。 結論 Sm、MMS和MDR 3個參數對VMAT計劃質量有較大影響，對不同的患者，設置合適的Sm、MMS和MDR值對提高計劃質量非常重要。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the impacts of parameter settings on the quality of plans for the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with Monaco treatment planning system. Methods Three patients who underwent VMAT from January to May 2010 were selected. The planning optimizations were processed by setting different planning parameters, including MSC, MSS, SSF, Sm, MMS and MDR, respectively. Then the quality of each plan with a certain set of parameters was evaluated by various evaluation indexes. The differences of quality among different plans were analyzed by comparing these indexes. Results There was no influence on the quality of VMAT planning for the parameter MSC, MSS and SSF to be set with different values. However, the other three parameters, MSC, MSS and SSF , affected the quality of VMAT planning with different values. Along with the aggrandizement of Sm and MMS value, the dose distribution of VMAT plans gradually became bad, while the number of control points, machine monitor units and irradiation time were gradually reduced. And along with the aggrandizement of MDR value, the dose distribution of VMAT plans became bad gradually until a constant state was reached, and both the number of control points and machine monitor units increased at first and then kept constant, while irradiation time decreased at first and then kept constant. Conclusion The selections of parameter Sm, MMS and MDR impact the quality of VMAT planning greatly. It is very important to set the suitable value of Sm, MMS and MDR to get the best planning quality for patients with different complexity.
