Purpose: IMRT QA using 2Dimensional array detector is carried out with condition for discrete dose distribution clinically. And it can affect uncertainty of evaluation using gamma method. We analyze gamma index variation according to grid size and suggest validate range of grid size for IMRT QA in Hospital. Materials and Methods: We performed QA using OniPro I'mRT system software version 1.7b on 10 patients (head and neck) for IMRT. The reference dose plane (grid size, 0.1 cm; location, [0, 0, 0]) from RTP was compared with the dose plane that has different grid size (0.1 cm, 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, 4.0 cm) and different location (along Y-axis 0 cm, 0.2 cm, 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm). The gamma index variation was evaluated by observing the level of changes in Gamma pass rate, Average signal, Standard deviation for each case. Results: The average signal for each grid size showed difference levels of 0%, -0.19%, -0.04%, -0.46%, -8.32% and the standard deviation for each grid size showed difference levels of 0%, -0.30%, 1.24%, -0.70%, -7.99%. The gamma pass rate for each grid size showed difference levels of 0%, 0.27%, -1.43%, 5.32%, 5.60%. The gamma evaluation results according to distance in grid size range of 0.1 cm to 1.0 cm showed good agreement with reference condition (grid size 0.1 cm) within 1.5% and over 5% in case of the grid size was greater than 2.0 cm. Conclusion: We recognize that the grid size of gamma evaluation can make errors of IMRT QA. So we have to consider uncertainty of gamma evaluation according to the grid size and apply smaller than 2 cm grid size to reduce error and increase accuracy clinically.

목 적: 암치료 기술의 발전으로 환자의 생존기간이 길어짐에 따라 치료 이후 삶의 질을 증진하고 치료 방법에 의한 부작용을 줄이는 노력에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구는 유방암 접선조사 치료에서 치료방법 차이가 반대쪽 유방 산란 선량에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 제작한 유방 모형 팬텀의 전산화 단층 영상을 이용하여 이클립스 10.0 (Eclipse 10.0, Varian, USA) 치료계획 시스템을 사용하여 $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $15^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $30^{\circ}$ EDW (Enhanced dynamic wedge) plan, Non-wedge plan, FIF(Field in Field) plan을 수립하였다. 각 치료계획은 선형가속기 CL-6EX (VARIAN, USA)를 이용하여 400 cGy씩 조사하였고 팬텀의 중심점으로부터 횡축방향으로 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 9 cm 씩 이동한 지점의 1 cm 깊이에서 전리조(FC 65G, IBA)를 이용하여 내측접선(Medial tangential) 조사와 외측접선(Lateral tangential) 조사에서 발생하는 산란선량을 각각 측정하고 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 반대쪽 유방 산란 선량을 평가해보았을 때 $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $15^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $30^{\circ}$ EDW (Enhanced dynamic wedge) plan, Non-wedge plan, FiF (Field in Field) plan에서 처방선량에 대해 각각 6.55%, 4.72%, 2.79%, 2.33%, 1.87%로 나타났다. 내측접선조사와 외측접선 조사로 나누어 보았을 때 내측접선 조사 측정값은 각각 4.94%, 3.33%, 1.55%, 1.17%, 0.77%로 나타났고 외측접선 조사는 각각 1.61%, 1.40%, 1.24%, 1.16%, 1.10%의 산란 선량이 측정되었다. 결 론: 유방암 접선 조사 치료방법 중 반대쪽 유방에 가장 적은 산란 선량이 발생하는 방법은 FiF plan으로 이때 발생한 산란선량은 팬텀 내에서 기인한 선량이 주로 작용하는 것으로 판단되었다. 가장 많은 산란 선량이 발생하는 치료방법은 $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan이었고 쐐기필터를 비롯한 치료 장비에서 기인한 선량은 3.3%로 평가되었다. 치료계획 시스템은 처방선량에 대해 상대적으로 낮은 산란 선량 영역은 정확성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 치료 조사야 밖으로 발생하는 산란 선량은 처방 선량에 비해 그 양이 적지만 2차 암 발생 확률과 관련이 있다는 점에서 간과할 수 없는 부분이며 방사선 치료를 결정하는데 있어 고려되어야 할 부분으로 사료된다. Purpose: The concern of improving the quality of life and reducing side effects related to cancer treatment has been a subject of interest in recent years with advances in cancer treatment techniques and increasing survival time. This study is an analysis of differing scattered dose to the contralateral breast using common different treatment techniques. Materials and Methods: Eclipse 10.0 (Varian, USA) based $30^{\circ}$ EDW (Enhanced dynamic wedge) plan, $15^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan, Open beam plan, FiF (field in field) plan were established using CT image of breast phantom which in our hospital. Each treatment plan were designed to exposure 400 cGy using CL-6EX (VARIAN, USA) and we measured scattered dose at 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 9 cm away from medial side of the phantom at 1 cm depth using ionization chamber (FC 65G, IBA). We carried out measurement by separating effect of medial tangential field and lateral tangential field and analyze. Results: The evaluation of scattered dose to contralateral breast, $30^{\circ}$ EDW plan, $15^{\circ}$ wedge plan, $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan, Open beam plan, FIF plan showed 6.55%, 4.72%, 2.79%, 2.33%, 1.87% about prescription dose of each treatment plan. The result of scattered dose measurement by separating effect of medial tangential field and lateral tangential field results were 4.94%, 3.33%, 1.55%, 1.17%, 0.77% about prescription dose at medial tangential field and 1.61%, 1.40%, 1.24%, 1.16%, 1.10% at lateral tangential field along with measured distance. Conclusion: In our experiment, FiF treatment technique generates minimum of scattered dose to contralateral breast which come from mainly phantom scatter factor. Whereas $30^{\circ}$ wedge plan generates maximum of scattered doses to contralateral breast and 3.3% of them was scattered from gantry head. The description of treatment planning system showed a loss of precision for a relatively low scatter dose region. Scattered dose out of Treatment radiation field is relatively lower than prescription dose but, in decision of radiation therapy, it cannot be ignored that doses to contralateral breast are related with probability of secondary cancer.

Purpose: We try to calculate EDW-factor easily with the formula applies essential data of EDW-factor and evaluate the validity through a measurement. Materials and Methods: We used the given value of GSTT (Golden Segmented Treatment Table) for the calculation of the EDW-factor. As to the experimental device, 0.6 cc farmer-type ion-chamber, an electrometer and water- phantom were used. A measurement was made at the maximum dose depth of the photon beam energy 6 MV and 15 MV under the condition that SSD (Source to Surface Distance) was 100 cm. The angle of the EDW (Enhanced Dynamic Wedge) which we use in an experiment was 60 degree, 30 degree, 20 degree in the Y1-OUT direction. We used Eclipse planning system (Varian, USA) as RTP system and the EDW-factor was calculated about all fields and EDW direction. In order to show the EDW-factor feature, a measurement was made at the selected field that verify the influence of the dependability about X, Y jaw and off-axis field. Results: When we change the Y1 field, it influence on the EDW-Factor and measured value. But the error between measured values and calculated values was less than 1%. The experimental result indicated the tendency that the error of the result of calculation and measured value becomes smaller as the EDW angle become smaller whether the calculation point (measurement point) and iso-center are same or not. The influence of the field size and energy did not show up. We simulated with the same condition using the RTP system. And we found that it makes no difference between the MU which is calculated manually by applying the EDW-Factor obtained from the commercial program and the value which is calculated by using RTP system. Conclusion: We excluded fitting value from well-known EDW-Factor formula and calculated EDW-factor with the formula applies essential data of EDW-factor only. As a result, there are no significant difference between the measured value and calculated value and it showed errors less than 1%. Also, we implemented the commercial program to calculate EDW-Factor conveniently without measure a factor on each field.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to compare the plan quality of volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of orbital lymphoma. IMRT, partial single arc(SA) and partial-double arc(DA) VMAT plans for four patients with orbital lymphoma treated at our institution were used for this study. Conformity Index(CI), Paddick's Conformity Index(PCI) and Homogeneity Index(HI) of planning target volume(PTV) were used to evaluate dosimetric quality of each plan. The Monitor Unit (MU), treatment time and dose of ipsilateral lens from each type of plan were measured for comparison. Materials and Methods : The CI of PTV for IMRT, SA and DA were measured as 0.88, 0.86, 0.92. The PCI of DA was the lowest as 1.33. Also HI of DA was the lowest in measured plans as 1.15. Mean dose of lens, lacrimal gland, optic chiasm, the opposite optic nerve and both orbit was analyzed with V30, V20, V10, V5. The result showed that the lowest dose in IMRT highest in SA in opposite lens, lacrimal gland, optic nerve, orbit. Results : Treatment time and average MU of IMRT was about three times higher than SA. Conclusion : Considering the superior plan quality as well as the delivery efficiency of VMAT compared with that of IMRT, VMAT may be the preferred modality for treating orbital lymphoma. 목 적 : 안와 림프종(orbital lymphoma) 방사선치료를 IMRT(intensity-modulated radiotherapy)와 VMAT (volumetric modulated arc therapy)을 이용한 RapidArc로 비교 분석해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 치료받은 안와 림프종 환자 4명을 대상으로 IMRT, VMAT을 이용한 partial-single arc(SA)와 partial-double arc(DA)로 전산화치료계획을 수립하였다. 각 치료계획의 평가는 PTV의 CI(conform -ity Index)값과 PCI(Paddick's Conformity Index)값, HI(Homogeneity Index)값을 구하여 비교 평가하였으며 주변 정상조직의 선량평가를 시행하였다. 또한 각 치료계획의 MU(Monitor Unit)값을 비교하고 치료시간과 수정체의 선량을 측정해보았다. 결 과 : PTV의 CI값을 분석한 결과 각 0.88, 0.86, 0.92로 DA의 값이 가장 컸으며 PCI값은 1.41, 1.44, 1.33으로 DA에서 값이 가장 작게 나타났다. 또한 HI값은 1.18, 1.20, 1.15로 DA에서 가장 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 안와 림프종 주변 정상조직의 mean dose와 $V_30$, $V_20$, $V_10$, $V_5$의 값을 분석하였다. 그 결과 반대측 수정체, 눈물샘, 시신경, 안와의 선량이 SA에서 가장 높았고 IMRT에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 평균 MU값과 치료시간은 IMRT가 SA에 비해 약 3배 정도 높게 나타났다. 결 론 : 안와 림프종 환자 IMRT 치료는 장애를 최소화하고 종양 내 선량 균등성을 높이기 위한 일반적인 치료법이다. 하지만 최근 시행하고 있는 RapidArc 치료계획에서 종양 내 선량 균등성이 IMRT 치료계획보다 우수한 결과 값을 보였고 정상조직의 선량 비교에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 MU와 치료시간 또한 약 1/3로 줄일 수 있었다. 이러한 이점은 안와 림프종 환자의 RapidArc 치료계획에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통해 치료의 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

이윤희,반태준,이우석,강태영,백금문,Lee, Yoon Hee,Ban, Tae Joon,Lee, Woo Seok,Kang, Tae Young,Back, Geum Mun 대한방사선치료학회 2013 대한방사선치료학회지 Vol.25 No.1

목 적: 본원에서는 전신조사방사선치료 시 양 팔을 몸에 붙이고 누워있는 환자에게 좌우 양방향으로 방사선을 조사한다. 누운 자세는 기준점 두께에 대하여 신체 다른 부위와 두께 차이가 크기 때문에 보상체의 제작이 필요하고, 기준 깊이(Umbilicus) 처방선량에 대하여, 양팔(Arms)로 가려지지 않은 흉부와 복부 전면(Anterior)은 최대 20%까지의 선량차이가 나는 고 선량 영역이 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전신조사방사선치료 시 고 선량 영역과의 선량 차이를 줄일 수 있는 Isodose Structure를 이용한 Field-in-Field (FIF) Technique의 유용성을 평가 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 인체모형등가팬텀(Rando Phantom, Alderson Resarch Laboratories Inc. Stamford. CT, USA, With Arm)으로 전산화단층촬영모의치료기의 영상을 획득하여 FIF와 납(Pb) 보상체를 이용한 전산화치료계획(Eclipse, version 10.0, Varian, USA)을 수립하였다. 두 치료계획의 흉부와 복부 부위의 선량분포를 비교하고, 수립된 치료계획을 이용하여 인체모형등가팬텀에 선량을 조사한 후, 열형광선량계(thermoluminescence dosimeter, TLD)와 필름(Film)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 결 과: 두 치료계획을 비교해 본 결과 기준깊이 처방선량에 대하여 팔로 가려지지 않은 흉부와 복부 전면의 선량차이는 FIF에서는 106~107%, 납 보상체를 이용한 치료계획에서는 114~124%였다. 열형광선량계를 분석한 결과로 FIF에서는 104~107%, 납 보상체를 이용한 치료계획에서는 110~117%의 기준깊이 처방선량과의 선량차이가 나왔다. 결 론: 본 실험에서 인체모형등가팬텀에 양 팔을 제작하여 치료 계획 및 선량을 조사해 보았다. 양 팔의 투과 유무에 따라 약 7~17%의 선량차이가 발생 하였다. 4단계의 FIF 기법으로 3차원 치료계획을 수립하여 전신에 약 95~107%의 균등한 선량 분포를 확인하였고 ${\pm}10%$ 이내의 선량 균일성을 유지 할 수 있을 것으로 분석 되었다. FIF 기법을 이용한 3차원 치료 계획은 환자 전신에 조사되는 선량을 미리 분석 할 수 있는 치료 계획으로 기존 치료 방법보다 균등한 선량의 전달이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. Purpose: In Asan Medical Center, Two parallel opposite beams are employed for total body irradiation. Patients are required to be in supine position where two arms are attached to mid axillary line. Normally, physical compensators are required to compensate the large dose difference for different parts of body due to the different thicknesses compared to the umbilicus separation. There was the maximum dose difference up to 30% in lung and chest wall compared to the prescription dose. In order to resolve the dose discrepancy occurring on different body regions, the feasibility of using Fieid-in-Field Technique is investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: CT scan was performed to The RANDO Phantom with fabricated two arms and sent to Eclipse treatment planning system (version 10.0, Varian, USA). Conventional plan with physical lead compensator and new plan using Field-in-Field Technique were established on TPS. AAA (Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm) dose calculation algorithm was employed for two parallel opposite beams attenuation. Results: The dose difference between two methods was compared with the prescription dose. The dose distribution of chest and anterior chest wall uncovered by patient arms was 114~124% for physical lead compensator while Field-in-Field Technique gave 106~107% of the dose distribution. In-vivo dosimetry result using TLD showed that the dose distribution to the same region was 110~117% for conventional physical compensator and 104~107% for Field-in-Field Technique. Conclusion: In this study, the feasibility of using FIF technique has been investigated with fabricated arms attached Rando phantom. The dose difference was up to 17% due to the attached arms. It is shown that the dose homogeneity is within ${\pm}10%$ with the CT based 3-dimensional 4 step FIF technique. The in-vivo dosimetry result using TLD was showed that 95~107% dose distribution compared to prescription dose. It is considered that CT based 3-dimensional Field-in-Field Technique for the total body irradiation gives much homogeneous dose distribution for different body parts than the conventional physical compensator method and might be useful to evaluate the dose on each part of patient body.
