Planning Ct

Cone beam CT based image guided radiation therapy can be used to measure and correct positional errors for target and critical structures immediately prior to or during the treatment delivery. Data correlation between Planning CT images and daily CBCT images is the key issue for adaptive radiation therapy, including image registration and segmentation processing. In this paper, aiming for getting accurate liver contour structures automatically in daily CBCT images which is very low-contrast comparing the planning CT, probabilistic atlas is constructed from 50 high contrast planning CT images with manual delineation by oncologist. The incoming CBCT images are registered with the atlas using the deformable registration algorithm, and the liver contour structures are generated automatically by using the deformation map. The experiment results demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to quantify local setup errors and evaluate the planning target volume (PTV) margins for sub-regions in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). The local setup errors of 20 patients undergoing CBCT-guided PMRT were analysed retrospectively. Image registration between CBCT and planning CT was performed using four sub-regions of interest (ROIs): the supraclavicular area (SROI), ipsilateral chest wall region (CROI), ipsilateral chest wall plus supraclavicular region (SROI + CROI) and vertebral region (TROI). Bland–Altman analysis, correlation, local setup errors and PTV margins among these ROIs were evaluated. There was no significant consistency or correlation for registration results between the TROI and the CROI or SROI regions on any translational axis. When using the SROI + CROI as the ROI, the systematic error (Σ) and random error (σ) of the local setup errors for the CROI region were 1.81, 1.19 and 1.76 mm and 1.84, 2.64 and 3.00 mm along the medial–lateral (ML), superior–inferior (SI) and anterior–posterior (AP) directions, respectively. The PTV margins for the CROI region were 5.80, 4.82 and 6.50 mm. The Σ and σ of the local setup errors for the SROI region were 1.29, 1.15 and 0.77 mm and 1.96, 2.65 and 2.2 mm, respectively, and the PTV margins were 4.59, 4.73 and 3.47 mm. Large setup errors and local setup errors occur in PMRT. The vertebral body should not be a position surrogate for the supraclavicular region or chest wall. To compensate for the local setup errors, different PTV margins are required, even with CBCT guidance.
