技术领域technical field

本发明涉及后装放射治疗技术领域,具体涉及一种快速后装放疗剂量的计算、验证方法。The invention relates to the technical field of backloading radiation therapy, in particular to a method for calculating and verifying fast afterloading radiation therapy doses.

背景技术Background technique

后装放射治疗是一种有效的癌症治疗方法,评估剂量计算的准确性对保证精确的后装放射治疗至关重要;放射治疗的流程是在治疗计划批准后,实施开始之前对治疗计划进行剂量验证。Backloading radiation therapy is an effective method of cancer treatment, evaluating the accuracy of dose calculation is crucial to ensure accurate afterloading radiation therapy; the process of radiation therapy is to dose the treatment plan after the treatment plan is approved and before the implementation begins verify.

国外物理师或剂量师通过治疗计划系统(Treatment Planning System,TPS)(该治疗计划系统是物理师或剂量师用于设计患者放射治疗计划的现有软件)完成治疗计划设计后,通常会有另外一位经验丰富的物理师进行治疗计划的剂量验证,但是我国物理师的临床任务较重,依靠另外一位物理师对治疗计划进行剂量验证很难实现。欧洲放射治疗协会早在2004年就推荐每个后装放射治疗中心都应有一套独立于治疗计划系统以外的剂量验证方法,但是我国还未见后装放射治疗剂量验证方法的研究。After foreign physicists or dosimetrists complete the treatment plan design through the Treatment Planning System (TPS) (the treatment planning system is the existing software used by physicists or dosimetrists to design radiation therapy plans for patients), there are usually additional An experienced physicist performs dose verification of the treatment plan, but physicists in my country have heavy clinical tasks, and it is difficult to rely on another physicist to verify the dose of the treatment plan. The European Association of Radiation Therapy recommended that each afterloading radiotherapy center should have a dose verification method independent of the treatment planning system as early as 2004, but there is no research on the dose verification method of afterloading radiotherapy in my country.

发明内容Contents of the invention

基于此,针对上述问题,有必要提出一种简化后装放射治疗流程,提高剂量计算、验证速度,以及保证后装放射治疗精确性的快速后装放疗剂量的计算、验证方法。Based on this, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to propose a rapid afterloading radiotherapy dose calculation and verification method that simplifies the afterloading radiotherapy process, improves the speed of dose calculation and verification, and ensures the accuracy of afterloading radiotherapy.

本发明的技术方案是:Technical scheme of the present invention is:

一种快速后装放疗剂量的计算、验证方法,包括以下步骤:A method for calculating and verifying the dose of fast afterloading radiotherapy, comprising the following steps:

a、从治疗计划系统中导出患者对应的DICOM文件,保存到一个固定文件夹中;a. Export the DICOM file corresponding to the patient from the treatment planning system and save it in a fixed folder;

b、扫描该固定文件夹,从DICOM文件中读取所需的剂量计算信息;b. Scan the fixed folder and read the required dose calculation information from the DICOM file;

c、获取放射源参数,建立剂量率分布表;c. Obtain radioactive source parameters and establish a dose rate distribution table;

d、确定放射源方向,并根据剂量计算信息进行剂量计算,获取剂量计算结果;d. Determine the direction of the radiation source, perform dose calculation according to the dose calculation information, and obtain the dose calculation result;

e、将获取的剂量计算结果和治疗计划系统中的剂量结果进行比对,得到偏差值Dev和γ验证结果;e. Compare the obtained dose calculation result with the dose result in the treatment planning system to obtain the deviation value Dev and γ verification results;

f、比对完成后,将偏差值Dev和γ验证结果保存至固定文件夹中,并自动删除固定文件夹中的DICOM文件。f. After the comparison is completed, the deviation value Dev and γ verification results are saved to a fixed folder, and the DICOM files in the fixed folder are automatically deleted.

在本技术方案中,从物理师或剂量师的角度考虑,尽可能的自动化处理,减少了人工的干预,节省时间;通过治疗计划系统(Treatment Planning System,TPS)的计算结果与本技术方案的相对独立计算结果进行比对获取偏差值Dev和γ验证结果,然后根据偏差值Dev和γ验证结果判断剂量是否合理,避免发生医疗事故;本技术方案在导入治疗计划系统中放射源的驻留位置和时间后,能自动计算三维的剂量分布,通过对比治疗计划系统中读取的剂量分布和本技术方案计算出的剂量分布能检测到通常不太容易被发现的错误,比如放射源参数数据库的意外改变或损坏,放射源更换后校准日期和活度输入错误等,进而保证安全性;而且,比对完成后,本技术方案会自动把结果输出到用户命名的文件中,以备将来核查,并自动删除固定文件夹中的DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications inMedicine)文件(即医学图像的标准格式文件),避免数据冗余造成内存负担大以及数据出错。In this technical solution, from the perspective of a physicist or a dosimetrist, automatic processing is possible as much as possible, reducing manual intervention and saving time; through the calculation results of the treatment planning system (Treatment Planning System, TPS) and the technical solution Relatively independent calculation results are compared to obtain the deviation value Dev and γ verification results, and then judge whether the dose is reasonable according to the deviation value Dev and γ verification results, so as to avoid medical accidents; After time and time, the three-dimensional dose distribution can be automatically calculated. By comparing the dose distribution read in the treatment planning system with the dose distribution calculated by this technical solution, errors that are usually not easy to be found can be detected, such as the radiation source parameter database. Accidental change or damage, calibration date and activity input errors after radioactive source replacement, etc., to ensure safety; moreover, after the comparison is completed, this technical solution will automatically output the results to the file named by the user for future verification. And automatically delete the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files (that is, the standard format files of medical images) in the fixed folder to avoid large memory burden and data errors caused by data redundancy.

Therefore, the direction of the radiation source in the human body coordinate system is calculated to facilitate subsequent dose calculations.

优选的,在所述步骤d中进行剂量计算前,设定剂量计算点为P(x,y,z),施源器管道总数为NA,每根施源器管道中放射源驻留位置总数为NS,第j根施源器管道中的第i个驻留位置对P(x,y,z)处的剂量率贡献为dj,i,第j根施源器管道中的第i个驻留位置的驻留时间为tj,i。进行剂量计算的准备,根据从导出的DICOM文件中读取的剂量计算信息,使得与治疗计划系统的数据相同,计算相同剂量计算点的剂量结果,使计算的精确度更高,便于后续进行比对。Preferably, before performing dose calculation in step d, the dose calculation point is set as P(x, y, z), the total number of source applicator pipelines is N A , and the residence position of the radioactive source in each source applicator pipeline is The total number is N S , the contribution of the i-th residence position in the j-th applicator pipeline to the dose rate at P(x, y, z) is d j,i , and the i-th residence position in the j-th applicator pipeline The dwell time of the i dwell positions is t j,i . Preparation for dose calculation, based on the dose calculation information read from the exported DICOM file, makes it the same as the data in the treatment planning system, and calculates the dose results at the same dose calculation point, making the calculation more accurate and convenient for subsequent comparisons right.

优选的,在所述步骤d中对P(x,y,z)处的剂量计算包括以下步骤:Preferably, the dose calculation at P(x, y, z) in the step d includes the following steps:

d101、计算P(x,y,z)距放射源第i个驻留位置Si(xi,yi,zi)的距离r′,则 d101. Calculate the distance r′ between P(x, y, z) and the i -th residence position S i ( xi , y, zi ) of the radioactive source, then

d102、根据向量 计算得出之间的夹角 d102, according to the vector Calculated and angle between

Check the dose rate distribution table T(m, n), if m×0.1cm≤u<(m+1)×0.1cm and n×0.1cm≤v<(n+1)×0.1cm, then for d The dose rate distribution corresponding to j, i (u, v) is calculated by bilinear interpolation, and d j, i (u, v)=w 1 T(m, n)+w 2 T(m, n+1 )+w 3 T(m+1,n)+w 4 T(m+1,n+1)

该γ验证为另一种验证方法,为常规的验证方法,其中γ值的计算方法见文献(Low D A,Harms W B,Mutic S,et al.A technique for the quantitative evaluationof dose distributions[J].Medical Physics,1998,25(5):656-661.),主要就是以本方案计算出的剂量为标准,来与治疗计划系统RT Dose(DICOM文件中存放剂量的文件)中读取的剂量进行比较,判断是否验证通过;可以既根据偏差值Dev,又根据γ验证来判断剂量的准确性,保证后装放射治疗的精确性,进一步提高安全性,避免发生医疗事故。The γ verification is another verification method, which is a conventional verification method, and the calculation method of the γ value can be found in the literature (Low D A, Harms W B, Mutic S, et al. A technique for the quantitative evaluation of dose distributions[J].Medical Physics,1998,25(5):656-661.), mainly use the dose calculated by this program as a standard to compare with the dose read in the treatment planning system RT Dose (the file storing the dose in the DICOM file) , to judge whether the verification is passed; the accuracy of the dose can be judged not only according to the deviation value Dev, but also according to the γ verification, so as to ensure the accuracy of afterloading radiation therapy, further improve safety, and avoid medical accidents.
