Description

A kind of interior dose detector of body cavity that is integrated in the brachytherapy system
Technical field
The present invention relates to dose detector (In vivo dose detector) in a kind of body cavity in the radiotherapy dosage detection field, can be applicable to high dose rate brachytherapy system (High Dose Rate Brachytherapy).The present invention also can be applicable to other brachytherapy system (Brachytherapy) such as middle dose rate brachytherapy (Middle Dose Rate Brachytherapy), LDR brachytherapy (Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy), suitable type brachytherapy system (Conformal Brachytherapy) and pulse wave source brachytherapy system (Pulse Source Brachytherapy) etc.

Example 2
At first, respectively at two flexible material substrate D1 and D2 upper growing metal film (such as Al, Ag, Au, Cu etc.) C1 and C2 such as polyimide (Polyimide) that 100um is thick, shown in accompanying drawing 4 (a).Secondly, utilize upside-down mounting drought chip technology (Flip-chip) or elargol (silver glue) B that semiconductor diode dose sensor chip A1 and A2 are separately fixed on metallic film (such as Al, Ag, Au, Cu etc.) C1 and the C2, shown in accompanying drawing 4 (b).Then, the substrate D1 of two semiconductor diode chips pasted with D2 be in the same place, form two-sided diode dose sensor chip, shown in accompanying drawing 4 (c).Then, with described two-sided diode dose sensor chip package in a kind of radiation permeable material, among polyethylene catheter (Polythene/Polyethylene Tube) E such as light-permeable, form two-sided dose sensor probe F, wherein fill by hydrocolloid (water like glue) G among the conduit E, shown in accompanying drawing 4 (d).At last, the conduit with in the probe F insertion applicating device forms the conduit H that two-sided dose sensor probe F in the body cavity is housed, shown in accompanying drawing 4 (e).
Therefore diameter<the 1mm of described dose sensor probe can insert the conduit in the applicating device and enters in the body cavity with conduit, and the dosage size and the distribution that radioactive source are shone target tumor are measured in real time.
As shown in Figure 2, the sensor chip A at sensor probe top can detect the exposure dose of radioactive source and produce a voltage or current signal, and this signal is input on the outer electro static instrument D of patient body by plain conductor C and reads.
Wire C passes substrate F, is directly connected on the sensor chip A.Sensor chip A then is fixed on the substrate F by the flip-chip solder technology.
Substrate F is a kind of flexible material, such as the thick polyimide of 100um.Sensor chip can adopt the bias voltage that has that is operated under the photovoltaic mode to drive (Applied Voltage Bias) or do not have the semiconductor diode that bias voltage drives, also can adopt metal oxide layer semiconductor field effect transistor (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-effect Transistor, MOSFET) or thermoluminescent diode (Thermal Luminescent Diode, TLD).
This patent will be set forth as an example of the semiconductor diode dose sensor example.The output of described diode dose sensor and the exposure dose of radioactive source are linear.Electro static instrument D will measure the charge number that semiconductor diode dose sensor in the unit interval produces.
The wire C of connecting sensor chip A is encapsulated in the flexible sheath B, and the other end of wire is connected on the substrate F with plug H, thereby wire can be connected on the electro static instrument D by concentric cable G.The material of described sheath can be the insulating material such as dacron or nylon, and described wire C has enamel paint coating (enamel coated).
Described sheath will accurately be fixed in the body cavity by a plurality of titaniums or nickel metal set collar E, and can determine its position by ultrasonic or x-ray imaging system.
The HDR brachytherapy system schematic of the interior dose detector of body cavity that Fig. 5 has been integrated.At first, dose sensor probe A is inserted into one in applicating device conduit B that is not used in the chamber, enters C in the patient's body cavity.The other end of probe is connected to external electro static instrument D and reads interior charge number of unit interval.In therapeutic process, described sensor probe will be fixed on the position of a known coordinate in the patient's body cavity, and packaged radioactive source particle will be with respect to the position movement of sensor probe.
The movement of radioactive source is to control by rear dress device.Then filling device is to be driven by the computer system that has read in advance treatment plan.
Treatment planning systems E in the described system links to each other with the dose data storehouse F of system, produces treatment plan.This treatment plan comprises that mainly radioactive source is at endoceliac parked position (dwell positions) " r " and residence time (dwell times) " t ".Treatment plan for fear of doctor's approval is covered or revises by mistake, and the dose data storehouse F of system only has the right of reading to treatment planning systems E.
Interface is to intended dose analyzer G simultaneously for the dose data storehouse F of system, and intended dose analyzer G can calculate intended dose D (r, t) relevant with residence time (dwell times) " t " with parked position " r " on each parked position.Intended dose analyzer G can calculate the integral absorbed dose ∫ D (r, t) in the patient body simultaneously, and namely radioactive source shines the overall dose of target tumor in HDR brachytherapy process.Therefore, intended dose analyzer G can export one at each parked position and represent the signal of intended dose and the signal of a representative plan overall dose.
Because the detectivity of dose sensor is relevant with the placement direction of the relative radioactive source of sensor in the chamber, so it has very big-difference to the detection that is in the identical radioactive source exposure dose of different parked positions in the body cavity, i.e. the angle anisotropy of sensor.As shown in Figure 6, be in different parked position r 1, r 2, r 3The exposure dose of radioactive source particle A be identical, but the angle anisotropy of detector B can make the r that is in that detector detects 1And r 3The dosage of radioactive source is greater than r 2The radioactive source dosage at place.Therefore, for actual dose detect consistent, intended dose analyzer proposed by the invention (accompanying drawing 5G) calculating be positioned at r 2The intended dose at place is less than and is positioned at r 1And r 3The intended dose at place.
Time device H as shown in Figure 5 is connected on the F of system of dose data storehouse, is used for measuring on each parked position the periodicity of radioactive source residence time.Electro static instrument D links to each other with dose sensor probe A in the body cavity simultaneously, and with the formal output Q (t) of the measured dosage of probe A with charge number.This charge number and unit residence time internal source are linear at the dosage that each parked position shines.
Intended dose D (the r that the charge number Q that electro static instrument D detects (t) and intended dose analyzer G calculate, t) (the angle anisotropy is revised) will compare by comparer I, thereby can detect in real time on each parked position the difference of the actual exposure dose that the intended dose of radioactive source and target tumor are accepted.Comparer equally also can be compared with overall planning dosage to overall actual exposure dose.
The comparative result of above-mentioned comparer will be imported among the reporting system K with patient's alert consitions J.Alert consitions J has defined the emergency condition in the brachytherapy process, and when emergency condition occured, treatment should stop, and radioactive source is wanted to withdraw from the patient body at once.Described alert consitions J has mainly set the upper and lower bound of radioactive source in each parked position exposure dose, has also set simultaneously the exposure dose rate scope of radioactive source, such as the normal dose rate+/-5% scope.If above-mentioned emergency condition does not occur, can continue in the therapeutic process to carry through to the end.Reporting system K will note down in the whole therapeutic process, dosage and dose rate that radioactive source shines in each parked position reality, and offer the doctor.
Each functional module of Fig. 5 can be discrete or integrated.Such as, time device module, electro static instrument module and comparator module can be integrated on the integrated circuit (IC) chip simultaneously shown in dotted line frame L.
For security and the integrality that guarantees data, treatment planning systems, rear dress device control system, reporting system and dose measurement system can be by four different computer control.Thereby avoid between the said system that the data transmission is obscured, the problem such as covering and change.
The HDR brachytherapy system operational flowchart of dose sensor probe in the body cavity that has been integrated shown in Figure 7.When therapeutic process begins (accompanying drawing 7A), to at first import dosage database and alert consitions (accompanying drawing 7B), afterwards the initial parked position of radioactive source is imported to the computer control system (accompanying drawing 7C) of rear dress device, judge radioactive source implantation position whether accurately (accompanying drawing 7E) by ultrasonic or X-ray imaging system, if the correct time device begins timing (accompanying drawing 7F), near the initial parked position that rear dress device is implanted radioactive source the target tumor fast carries out radiotherapy (accompanying drawing 7G).Simultaneously, the overall dose (Q (t), ∫ Q (t)) of radioactive source in actual exposure dose, dose rate and the therapeutic process of initial parked position will be detected in real time by dose sensor in the chamber (accompanying drawing 7H).
The radioactive source that sensor is detected in real time is in the actual exposure dose of initial parked position, overall dose in dose rate and the therapeutic process (Q (t), ∫ Q (t)) with treatment plan in intended dose, intended dose rate and plan overall dose (D (t), ∫ D (t)) compare (accompanying drawing 7I), if the radioactive source that sensor detects in real time is in the actual exposure dose of initial parked position, overall dose in dose rate and the therapeutic process has surpassed intended dose in the alert consitions, the scope (accompanying drawing 7J) of intended dose rate and plan overall dose, system will report to the police (accompanying drawing 7K), radioactive source can be withdrawn from (accompanying drawing 7L) in the patient body, therapeutic process stops (accompanying drawing 7M).
If measured dosage is lower than intended dose, system will at first judge by the time device whether the irradiation time of radioactive source reaches plan residence time (t x).If the radioactive source irradiation time is less than plan residence time (accompanying drawing 7N), radioactive source will be proceeded radiotherapy to destination organization.If the radioactive source irradiation time equates that with the plan residence time time device will be reset, and judges the parked position (r that whether also comprises other in the treatment plan x) (accompanying drawing 70).If comprise, the parked position (accompanying drawing 7P) of next radioactive source can be read in system, and repeats above-mentioned treatment flow process.When radioactive source is finished it after the irradiation on all parked positions, therapeutic process finishes, and radioactive source is withdrawn from external.The metering that records and intended dose will be stored into reporting system and the later reference data of formulating treatment plan of conduct.
Under in the body cavity in the system output electrical signals of dose detector can read by traditional electro static instrument, thereby the detector actual detection arrives near the overall absorption dosage (total integrated absorbed dose) of target tumor, integrated time resolution absorbed dose (integrated and time-resolved absorbed dose), the target tumor absorbed dose (absorbed dose), dose rate (dose rate) and the chamber dosage and the comparative result of intended dose are provided.
In sum, diameter provided by the invention can successfully insert the conduit of applicating device less than dose sensor probe in the chamber of 1mm, carries out dose measurement near endoceliac target tumor; Simultaneously, the present invention has also proposed the brachytherapy system of dose sensor in the chamber integrated, thereby has significantly improved the quality assurance of brachytherapy system.
The above is know-why and instantiation that the present invention uses, the equivalent transformation of doing according to conception of the present invention, as long as when its scheme of using does not exceed spiritual that instructions and accompanying drawing contain yet, and all should be within the scope of the invention, hereby explanation.
