Description

The dosage verifying system of radiotherapy unit
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of medical device, and in particular to a kind of dosage verifying system of radiotherapy unit.
Background technology
With the development of radiotherapy technology and equipment, the target of radiotherapy towards " accurate radiotherapy " is advanced, that is, requires radiation Precise Diagnosis is carried out in therapeutic process, is accurately positioned, accurately plan and accurate treatment.Therefore, the quality for radiotherapy is strengthened Control and quality assurance are most important, and wherein dosage verifying technology is one of means.Used in conventional radiotheraphy Film making checking means, but the film making dosage verifying of two dimension can only be carried out, it can't realize that 3-dimensional dose is distributed real-time verification.One A little image guided radiation therapy (Image-guided Radiotherapy, IGRT) equipment, are scanned using pencil-beam x-ray tomography (CBCT)As image documentation equipment, the guiding in real time tracking treatment of tumor target is realized, but in successive treatment, the form meeting of tumour Change, such as Tumor shrank, tissue morphology regression etc., if continuing the treatment plan started, exposure dose can be caused not Uniformly, and if the plan of reformulating, need to re-start CT scan, extend the time, increase cost.
Therefore, the accurate conformal radiation therapy for moving tumour be the subject matter that faces of current cancer field of radiation therapy it One.In recent years, kinds of tumors tracking treatment technology is proposed to solve the problem and achieves relatively good effect.Tumour chases after Track treatment technology the position of real-time estimate tumour and is moved according to this over the course for the treatment of by being modeled to the characteristics of motion of tumour State adjusts colimated light system(Such as position of MLC leaf positions, robot collimater etc.)It is tracked treatment.In addition, tumour chases after Track therapeutic equipment can also be used over the course for the treatment of by treatment-related information according in certain frequency write-in treatment journal file In the checking of successive treatment quality.The treatment relevant information of record includes but is not limited to the tumour position that ray goes out number, tracked Put, the position of colimated light system etc..But the conventional dosage verifying method based on CBCT images does not account for tumour in therapeutic process Motion and therapeutic process in colimated light system position change, therefore be not applied for tumour tracking treatment technology dosage test Card.
It is a kind of new radiation therapy technology based on image-guided stereotactic surgery/radiotherapy.Compared to routine Stereotactic surgery/radiotherapy technology, determined over the course for the treatment of without using bone based on image-guided stereotactic surgery/radiotherapy Position(skeletal fixation)Device limits the motion of patient, but periodically detects patient body position using imaging methods Change.If monitoring the position chanP of patient and change being within the scope of it can compensate, dynamic adjusts colimated light system Position realize the accurate irradiation of tumour.If patient body position's change is beyond the scope that can be compensated, pause treatment is simultaneously To continual cure after patient's progress again pendulum position.Over the course for the treatment of, image-guided stereotactic surgery/radiotherapy apparatus can incite somebody to action Treatment-related information is treated in journal file according to certain frequency write-in, the checking for successive treatment quality.Record Treatment relevant information includes but is not limited to ray and goes out position of knub position that is several, tracking, colimated light system etc..It is but conventional Dosage verifying method based on CBCT images does not account for the change of patient body position in therapeutic process and colimated light system position Adjustment, therefore it is not applied for the dosage verifying based on image-guided stereotactic surgery/radiotherapy technology.
