Abstract
Description
本願は、2004年2月20日に出願された、米国仮特許出願番号60/546,670に対する優先権を主張する。
適用なし。
本発明は、放射線治療のシステムおよび方法に関し、さらに詳しくは、数日または数週間の経過にわたるいくつかの部分において、患者へと投与される実際の電離放射線量を割り出すことができ、器官の運動または患者の形状の変化によって生じる処置の投与の誤差を補償すべく治療を調節できるよう、放射線治療の際に患者へと線量が投与される瞬間において、患者の体構造を迅速かつ繰り返し画像化するための放射線治療システムおよび方法に関する。さらに、本発明において使用される磁気共鳴画像化法は、既存のX線コンピュータ断層撮影(CT)画像化に比べて軟組織のコントラストを改善し、代謝および生理に関するさらなる情報を提供して、対象の描写を改善し、治療に対する患者または疾病の応答の監視を可能にすることができる。
がんおよび冠動脈再狭窄など、増殖性の組織異常によって引き起こされる疾病の放射線による治療においては、患者において疾病を含んでいることが分かっている部分、あるいは疾病を含んでいると考えられる部位が、照射される。この目的のため、放射線治療計画システムが使用され、まずは疾病部位および周囲の領域について計画用の画像が取得される。
によって与えられるローレンツ力に直面することは、周知である。MRIユニットによって生じるローレンツ力によって、電子が直線経路で移動することができなくなり、事実上リニアックをオフにするため、リニアックによる電子の加速が不可能になる。さらに、リニアックの高い無線周波数(RF)の放射が、MRIユニットのRF送受信システムに問題を引き起こし、画像の再現に必要とされる信号を劣化させ、おそらくは繊細な回路を破壊してしまう。リニアックとMRIユニットとの一体化は、途方もない技術的努力であり、未だ可能にされていない。
本発明は、電離放射線治療用ビームを生成するための少なくとも1つ、おそらくはより多くの放射性同位体源、前記治療用ビームによってIMRTを実行するための少なくとも1つ、おそらくはより多くのMLCまたは減衰器システム、目標領域および周囲の健康な組織または重要構造を前記電離放射線の投与の最中に同時に画像化する磁気共鳴画像化(MRI)システム、および/またはすべての構成要素に伝達可能に接続されたコントローラを含んでいる放射線治療システムを提供する。MRIからもたらされた画像データが、実際に投与された電離放射線の線量の定量的評価を可能にするとともに、IMRTによって投与される電離放射線を目標領域へとより正確に案内するため、処置の投与の再最適化または再計画を可能にする。以下では、本発明の有益な実施形態を説明する。この有益な実施形態においては、オープンMRIの主磁石ヘルムホルツ・コイル対が、分割ソレノイドとして設計され、磁石の中央の円筒形の穴を通って患者カウチが走行し、IMRTユニットが、2つのソレノイド部分の間のすき間を通って患者に照準する(図1〜図4)。この実施形態においては、分割ソレノイドMRI(015)が静止したままである一方で、マルチリーフ・コリメータIMRTユニット(020)を備え、遮蔽され、位置合わせされている同位体放射源が、ガントリー(025)上でカウチを中心にして軸回転する(有益には、2つより多くの(020)を使用することができる)。患者(035)は、同時の画像化および処置のために患者カウチ(030)上に配置される。マルチリーフ・コリメータを備え、位置合わせされている同位体放射源(020)は、固定の主コリメータ(120)、二次二重ダイバージェント・マルチリーフ・コリメータ(125)、および二次マルチリーフ・コリメータ(125)からのリーフ間の漏れを遮断するための三次マルチリーフ・コリメータ(130)で視準される放射性同位体源(115)を含んでいる(図5〜図7)。

本発明を、多数の変更および変種が当業者にとって明らかであるがためにあくまで例示を意図するものである以下の実施例において、さらに詳しく説明する。本明細書および特許請求の範囲において使用されるとき、単数形「a」、「an」、および「the」は、そのようでないことが文脈から明らかでない限り、複数への言及を含んでもよい。同様に、本明細書および特許請求の範囲において使用されるとき、用語「・・・からなる(comprising)」は、「・・・で構成される」実施形態、および「・・・で基本的に構成される」実施形態を含み得る。
によって与えられるローレンツ力に直面する。この力は、役に立つイオン化光子および電子の物体との相互作用の物理学を大きく変化させるほどには充分に大きくないが、イオン化電子の全体的な輸送、したがって得られる線量分布に影響を及ぼし得る。二次電子の輸送に対する磁界の影響は、50年よりも前から始まって、物理学の文献においてよく研究されている。最近の研究は、患者における局所的な線量の体積を増加させるために一次または二次電子の合焦または捕捉を助けるため局所化された磁界を使用する試みにおいて、モンテカルロ・シミュレーションおよび分析的分析を使用している。これらの研究はすべて、ローレンツ力で電子の輸送を横方向に閉じ込めるため、磁力線をビーム軸の方向に整列させつつ調査されている(「長手方向の」磁界と称され、ここで長手という用語は、患者ではなくビームを指している)。約1.5〜3.0Tの間の磁界の強磁界のMRIにおいて、旋回の初期の半径が二次電子の大角度散乱相互作用(制動放射、弾性散乱、および強衝突(hard collisions))のMFPに比べて小さく、この状況が電子の所望の捕捉または合焦をもたらすことが知られている。電子がエネルギーを失うと、
に比例して半径が小さくなり、大角度散乱相互作用(CSDA)が存在しないとき、電子は停止するまで半径の減少する螺旋に従う。この螺旋は、電子のフルエンスを変化させ得るが、何ら有意なシンクロトロン放射を生まないことが知られている。本発明においては、平行なMRIでリアルタイムの画像化が可能であるために、磁界が照射ビームに対して直交していなければならない。最近の研究が、6MVリニアック・ビームのビーム軸に直交する1.5Tの磁界が、6MVリニアック・ビームレットについて、水への線量分布を大きくかき乱し得ることを示している。このような線量分布のひずみの回避、および画像化データの空間的完全性を損ない得るMRIアーチファクトの防止の両者のため、本発明の有益な実施形態は、磁界を患者の上下方向に沿って導くことができる低磁界オープンMRIの設計を使用する(図1を参照)。コバルトγ線からの二次電子についての旋回の半径の簡単な評価が、旋回の半径が電子の大角度散乱相互作用のMFPよりもはるかに大きいことを示している。これは、ローレンツ力が磁界の大きさ
に比例し、旋回の半径が磁界(104)に反比例するため、容易に理解できる。本発明者らは、スラブ・ファントム形状のコバルトγ線源からのビームレットのモデル化を、よく検証されたIntegrated Tiger Series(ITS)Monte Carlo packageおよびそのACCEPTMサブルーチンを磁界中での輸送について使用して実行した。シミュレーションのため、0.1MeVの電子および0.01MeVの光子の輸送エネルギーのカットオフ、標準的な凝縮されたヒストリー・エネルギー格子(ETRANアプローチ)、ランドー分布からサンプルしたエネルギー・ストラグリング、ベーテ理論にもとづく質量衝突停止パワー、デフォルトの電子輸送サブステップ・サイズ、および束縛効果を含んでいる非コヒーレントな散乱を使用した。3組のシミュレーションを実行し、各組は、ビーム方向に平行な0.3Tの一様な磁界の存在下および非存在下での実行を含んでいた。2cmの円形コバルトγ線ビームレットを、以下の形状についてモデル化した。すなわち、30×30×30cm3の水ファントム、10cmの肺密度(0.2g/cc)水スラブを5cmの深さに有する30×30×30cm3の水ファントム、および10cmの空気密度(0.002g/cc)水スラブを5cmの深さに有する30×30×30cm3の水ファントムである。シミュレーションは、推定される線量において1パーセント未満の標準偏差を得るため、8〜30時間にわたってP4 1.7GHz PCで3000万〜1億のヒストリーにて実行された。結果は図10〜12に示されている。図10は、本発明の有益な実施形態において存在するような0.3Tの直交一様磁界が、軟組織または骨における線量分布を測定可能なほどにはかき乱さないことを明確に証明している。本発明にとってきわめて有用な処置部位は、体内で最も顕著な組織異質性を含んでいる肺および胸部である。図11に示されているように、ファントムに12cmの肺密度(0.2g/cc)の水スラブを加えることで、高および低密度の領域の境界において、線量にきわめて小さいが検出可能である乱れが引き起こされている。これらの乱れは、補正なしで認容可能な臨床適用を可能にするために充分小さい。図12において、最後に我々は、低密度の領域および境界領域に大きく存在する顕著な乱れを観測した。これは、空洞が、正確な線量測定に関して最大の課題を有することを示している。しかしながら、低密度の媒体との境界を除くと、軟組織および(MFPが軟組織よりもさらに短くなる)骨において大きな乱れは存在しないはずである。このデータは、低磁界(0.2〜0.5テスラ)のMRIでの本発明の有益な実施形態において、線量の乱れは、組織が存在していないため正確な線量測定が必要とされない空洞の内側を除き、小さいことを示している。コバルト遠隔治療ユニットなどの公知の放射線源を使用することによって、MRI磁界の強さが既知であれば、偏向の量を容易に割り出すことができる。しかしながら、磁界の強さが既知であっても、線形加速器が使用される場合には、未知である放射のエネルギー・スペクトルが計算をはるかに困難にする。
