Description

Radiotherapy simulation positioning system
Technical Field
Radiotherapy simulation positioning.
Background
The radiotherapy simulated positioning system usually marks reference points during positioning, scans positioning images, delineates tumors and determines isocenters in a radiotherapy planning system, moves a bed and a laser lamp to the isocenter position during resetting, marks the body surface and scans verification images. Because of the long time required to delineate the tumor, the "positioning" and "repositioning" procedures described above are usually separate, requiring two fixation patients and two image scans. The workload of the doctor is increased, and simultaneously, the inconvenience is brought to the patient. In the case of performing the isocenter transfer every time the accelerator treatment couch is moved, there is a risk of a bed transfer error.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention relates to a radiotherapy simulation positioning system, which is characterized by comprising an imaging device, a movable laser lamp and simulation positioning software; the imaging device is a CT, MR or PET/CT imaging device; the simulated positioning software comprises a method for automatically driving a movable laser lamp to an isocenter position, and the method comprises the following steps:
1) importing a diagnostic image and a diagnostic sketch; the diagnosis delineation can be a tumor target area delineated on the diagnosis image or an isocenter directly preset on the diagnosis image.
2) The diagnostic image is deformed and registered with the positioning image;
3) mapping the diagnosis delineation to a positioning image according to a deformation field generated by deformation registration to generate a corresponding positioning image delineation;
4) the isocenter position is calculated according to the positioning image drawing; when the diagnosis delineation is the delineation of the tumor target area, generating a corresponding positioning target area delineation on the positioning image, and calculating the geometric center of the positioning target area delineation as a default isocenter position; when the diagnostic delineation is a preset isocenter, the mapped isocenter is generated directly on the positioning image.
5) The bed and laser lamp are driven to an isocentric position.
The doctor can mark the isocenter position according to the indication of the laser lamp. If the isocenter position of the mark needs to be verified, a marker is attached to the mark point (a lead point can be used for a CT image, and a cod-liver oil ball can be used for an MR image), and verification image scanning is carried out. The simulated localization software includes a means for marking the isocenter of the verification image with markers as described above. The marking tool can be a manual marking tool, such as a cross line moving with a mouse, when a horizontal line passes through the left marking point and the right marking point and a vertical line passes through the upper marking point, the marking position of the mouse is the isocenter. The marking tool may also be an automatic marking tool, such as automatically segmenting marking points on the verification image, automatically calculating the isocenter position. The simulation positioning software aligns the isocenter of the verification image with the isocenter of the positioning image, and then performs rigid body registration on the verification image and the positioning image to generate registration deviation so as to verify the positioning precision.
The radiotherapy simulation positioning system omits the mark of a reference point, can directly finish the marking of the isocenter in positioning, and improves the working efficiency.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT (S) OF INVENTION
Example 1
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The radiotherapy simulation positioning system comprises imaging equipment, a movable laser lamp and simulation positioning software; the imaging device in this embodiment is a large aperture CT; the simulated positioning software comprises a method for automatically driving a movable laser lamp to an isocenter position, and the method comprises the following steps:
1) importing a diagnostic image and a diagnostic sketch; the diagnostic image is a diagnostic CT image and the diagnostic delineation is a tumor target region delineated on the diagnostic image.
2) The diagnostic image is deformed and registered with the positioning image; the scout image is a CT image generated by a large aperture CT scan. The deformation registration algorithm is a gradient field-based deformation registration method for the constrained images.
3) Mapping the diagnosis target area to a positioning image according to a deformation field generated by deformation registration to generate a corresponding positioning target area;
4) calculating a geometric center delineated by the positioning target area as a default isocenter position;
5) the bed and laser lamp are driven to an isocentric position.
The doctor can mark the isocenter position according to the indication of the laser lamp. If the isocenter position of the mark needs to be verified, a lead point is attached to the mark point to serve as a CT image verification mark. After the marker is attached, a verification image scan is performed. The simulated localization software includes a means for marking the isocenter of the verification image with markers as described above. The marking tool comprises a manual marking tool and a cross line moving along with the mouse, and when a horizontal line penetrates through the left marking point and the right marking point and a vertical line penetrates through the upper marking point, the marking position of the mouse is the isocenter. The marking tool also comprises an automatic marking tool, which automatically segments the marking points on the verification image and automatically calculates the isocenter position according to the marking points. The simulation positioning software aligns the isocenter of the verification image with the isocenter of the positioning image, and then performs rigid body registration on the verification image and the positioning image to generate registration deviation so as to verify the positioning precision.
