凝膠劑量計自動化製造暨裝填設備之製造暨裝填凝膠劑量計之步驟Gel Dosimeter Automated Manufacturing and Filling Equipment Manufacturing and Filling Gel Dosimeter Steps

本發明與放射劑量驗證工具之製備有關,更詳而言之,係關於凝膠劑量計之自動化製造、裝填之設備及系統。The present invention relates to the preparation of radiation dose verification tools and, more particularly, to automated manufacturing, filling equipment and systems for gel dosimeters.

已知,高科技放射治療為治療癌症的主要方法之一,在控制癌症病灶及治癒率上有極大的貢獻。在傳統放射治療中,常面臨無法完全將放射線限制在腫瘤範圍內之問題,在利用放射線殺死腫瘤細胞的同時,腫瘤周圍的正常組織亦免不了會受到一些放射劑量傷害,當腫瘤所受劑量愈高時,正常組織所受放射線劑量亦隨之升高。臨床治療上有時會為了不想使正常組織和重要器官受到太多放射線劑量,而降低投予腫瘤的放射線劑量,如此一來腫瘤細胞可能無法得到足夠的致死劑量,進而影響整體放射治療效果。High-tech radiation therapy is known to be one of the main methods for treating cancer, and it has greatly contributed to the control of cancer lesions and cure rates. In traditional radiotherapy, it is often faced with the problem that it is impossible to completely limit the radiation to the tumor. When the tumor cells are killed by radiation, the normal tissue around the tumor is inevitably subject to some radiation dose damage. When high, the radiation dose of normal tissues also increases. Clinical treatment sometimes reduces the dose of radiation administered to the tumor in order to prevent normal tissues and vital organs from being exposed to too much radiation dose, so that the tumor cells may not be able to obtain a sufficient lethal dose, thereby affecting the overall radiation treatment effect.

目前已發展出利用電腦斷層掃描,將腫瘤和周圍正常組織間的解剖位置關係以三度空間影像呈現,放射線射束的入射可跟隨著腫瘤的生長形狀不同而變化,換言之,是一種對腫瘤三度空間的順形放射治療。強度調控放射治療(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy,簡稱IMRT)是三度空間順形治療的一種延伸。利用電腦斷層掃描重組腫瘤三度空間的立體影像,並以射束眼(Beam's Eye View)來決定三度空間的多重照野,使醫師能就病人腫瘤與四周正常組織的立體影像來做擬定治療計畫。IMRT能適度調節腫瘤及正常組織放射劑量百分比,使腫瘤部位的放射劑量提升,正常組織的放射劑量降低,提高腫瘤控制率及降低正常組織或器官受損機率。At present, computerized tomography has been developed to present the anatomical positional relationship between the tumor and the surrounding normal tissue in a three-dimensional image. The incidence of the radiation beam can be changed according to the growth shape of the tumor. In other words, it is a pair of tumors. Conformal radiation therapy for degree space. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an extension of three-dimensional spatial conformal therapy. Using computerized tomography to reconstruct the stereoscopic image of the three-dimensional space of the tumor, and using Beam's Eye View to determine the multiple fields of the three-dimensional space, so that the doctor can make a treatment for the stereoscopic image of the patient's tumor and surrounding normal tissues. plan. IMRT can moderately adjust the percentage of radiation dose in tumors and normal tissues, increase the radiation dose at the tumor site, reduce the radiation dose of normal tissues, increase the tumor control rate and reduce the risk of normal tissue or organ damage.

IMRT整體計畫的完成,涉及許多照野的照射和不同強度的給予。因此除了在進行治療前,必須將病灶的範圍準確地描繪出來之外,照射部位與治療計畫中所計算的劑量與位置有無偏差、腫瘤內的每一點是否都接受到正確的劑量,是非常重要的一環。換言之,IMRT必須在定位準確的前提下才能發揮功能,以避免失之毫米,劑量分佈卻差之千里的結果出現。因此,理想的劑量計可完成劑量驗證和記錄,以確保治療品質並發揮強度調控放射治療的功能。The completion of the IMRT overall project involves many illuminations of the field and the giving of different strengths. Therefore, in addition to accurately depicting the extent of the lesion before treatment, whether the dose and position calculated in the treatment site and the treatment plan are different, and whether each point in the tumor receives the correct dose is very An important part. In other words, the IMRT must function under the premise of accurate positioning to avoid the loss of millimeters, and the results of the dose distribution are thousands of miles away. Therefore, the ideal dosimeter can complete the dose verification and recording to ensure the quality of treatment and to play the role of intensity regulation of radiation therapy.

目前在臨床常使用之放射劑量驗證工具包括有游離腔、熱發光計、底片以及聚合物凝膠劑量計,其中又以聚合物凝膠劑量計具有較佳之劑量量測能力與較高之解析度,對於目前走向三度空間且愈來愈複雜的放射治療而言,具有極大之助益。Currently, the radiation dose verification tools commonly used in clinical practice include free cavity, thermal luminometer, negative film and polymer gel dosimeter, wherein the polymer gel dosimeter has better dose measurement capability and higher resolution. For the current three-dimensional space and the increasingly complex radiation therapy, it is of great help.

凝膠劑量計的成份配方,如2007年7月中台科技大學放射科學研究所謝栢滄博士所指導之碩士論文「聚合物凝膠劑量計之研究-n-NIPAM gel配方的最適化探討」中指出,聚合物凝膠通常由去離子水、凝膠基質(gel或agarose)、單體、其他添加劑(抗氧化劑、交聯劑...)所組成。前三項為必備原料,添加劑的使用與否,端視不同凝膠配方而有不同的考量。去離子水是凝膠組成份中比例最大的(80%以上),當作誘發自由基的來源。因水經輻射裂解後會產生自由基,而自由基與單元體發生聚合作用,達到偵測輻射的目的。凝膠基質的功能是將水液狀的單體混合物轉變為凝膠狀。單體是聚合物凝膠的主角,主要功能是與自由基結合而間接偵測輻射線。交聯劑的功能是將可溶於水的線性聚合物經由交聯作用形成三度空間更緊密且不溶於水的聚合物,於照射輻射後可顯現出外觀上的變化,以便於進行量化量測。添加劑還包括了去除凝膠中之氧氣的物質,因為氧氣會抑制聚合反應,即使微量也會使凝膠聚合失效。兩種方法可移除凝膠劑量計中的氧氣,一為製備凝膠時沖入氮氣或氬氣,另一為添加抗氧化劑。前者必需在低氧環境下製備,後者於一般環境下製備。The formulation of the composition of the gel dosimeter, as stated in the master's thesis "Research on Polymer Gel Dosimeter - Optimization of n-NIPAM gel Formula" by Dr. Xie Baijun, Institute of Radiological Sciences, China University of Science and Technology, July 2007 The polymer gel is usually composed of deionized water, a gel matrix (gel or agarose), a monomer, other additives (antioxidants, crosslinkers...). The first three items are essential raw materials, and the use of additives depends on different gel formulations and has different considerations. Deionized water is the largest proportion of the gel component (more than 80%) and serves as a source of induced free radicals. Free radicals are generated by the cleavage of water by radiation, and the radicals are polymerized with the unit body to achieve the purpose of detecting radiation. The function of the gel matrix is to convert the aqueous monomer mixture into a gel. The monomer is the protagonist of the polymer gel. Its main function is to combine the free radicals to indirectly detect the radiation. The function of the cross-linking agent is to form a water-soluble linear polymer via cross-linking to form a three-dimensionally denser and water-insoluble polymer, which can exhibit an appearance change after irradiation of radiation, so as to be quantified. Measurement. The additive also includes a substance that removes oxygen from the gel because oxygen inhibits the polymerization reaction, and even a small amount causes the gel polymerization to fail. Two methods remove oxygen from the gel dosimeter, either by flushing with nitrogen or argon while preparing the gel, and by adding an antioxidant. The former must be prepared in a low oxygen environment, and the latter is prepared under normal circumstances.

上開論文中揭露製備凝膠劑量計的詳細實驗流程如下:The detailed experimental procedure for preparing a gel dosimeter is disclosed in the above paper:

1. 由純水製造機上,取89ml去離子水置於250ml的燒杯中。1. From a pure water machine, take 89 ml of deionized water in a 250 ml beaker.

2. 在室溫下加入5g gelatin(凝膠基質)攪拌至粉體完全溶解且充份膨脹。2. Add 5 g of gelatin (gel matrix) at room temperature until the powder is completely dissolved and fully expanded.

3. 將此溶液注入隔水加熱系統,再加熱攪拌至45℃,讓gelatin充份溶解呈現清澈狀。3. Inject the solution into a water-blocking heating system, and then heat and stir to 45 ° C to allow gelatin to dissolve in a clear form.

4. 加入3g NIPAM(單體)與3g BIS(交聯劑),均勻攪拌至全部組成份完全溶解。4. Add 3 g of NIPAM (monomer) and 3 g of BIS (crosslinking agent) and mix evenly until all the components are completely dissolved.

5. 加入10mM THPC(除氧劑)均勻攪拌至全部組成份完全溶解。5. Add 10 mM THPC (oxygen scavenger) and mix evenly until all the components are completely dissolved.

6. 將凝膠分裝於試管中。6. Dispense the gel in a test tube.

7. 凝膠分裝完畢,將試管裝入包覆錫箔紙的試管架中,靜置於室溫(22℃~25℃),使凝膠凝固。7. After the gel is dispensed, place the tube in a test tube holder covered with tin foil and let it stand at room temperature (22 ° C ~ 25 ° C) to solidify the gel.

8. 凝膠製備6小時內進行輻射照射。8. The gel was prepared for radiation exposure within 6 hours.

以上的流程步驟是透過實驗室人員的人工操作,然而,成份配比及操作時間的精確性、原料溶解和操作溫度之控制等關鍵,在人工操作的環境中並不容易完全精準的掌控,有較多的人為誤差,這可能導致各試管之凝膠劑量計對輻射的反應性不同,影響凝膠劑量計的準確度和穩定度。再者,以人工將凝膠分裝於試管,使裝配的所需時間延長。凝膠製備後需於6小時內進行輻射照射,因此凝膠劑量計無法於放射治療單位以外的廠商大量製造後再販售給醫療單位,它必需由放射治療單位中的人員親自配置,在IMRT的使用率逐漸提高,凝膠劑量計的製備也必需更加快速,但人工配製凝膠劑量計的時間冗長,程序繁瑣,這無疑增加了放射治療單位人員的工作量,因此,研發全自動化的製造、裝填設備是必需的,在醫療體系中將具有極高的應用價值。The above process steps are performed manually by laboratory personnel. However, the key components and the accuracy of the operation time, the control of the dissolution of the raw materials and the control of the operating temperature are not easily controlled in a manual environment. More human error, which may result in different reactivity of the gel dosimeters of each test tube to radiation, affecting the accuracy and stability of the gel dosimeter. Furthermore, the gel is dispensed manually into the test tube to extend the time required for assembly. After the gel is prepared, it needs to be irradiated within 6 hours. Therefore, the gel dosimeter cannot be mass-produced by a manufacturer other than the radiotherapy unit and then sold to the medical unit. It must be personally configured by the person in the radiotherapy unit at the IMRT. The use rate is gradually increasing, and the preparation of the gel dosimeter must be more rapid. However, the manual preparation of the gel dosimeter takes a long time and the procedure is cumbersome, which undoubtedly increases the workload of the radiotherapy unit personnel, and therefore, the development of fully automated manufacturing, Filling equipment is required and will have a high application value in the medical system.

發明人以gelatin、NIPAM、BIS、以及THPC等成份利用本發明之機構及系統實際製做凝膠劑量計,並將測試報告提呈如下。The inventors actually made a gel dosimeter using the mechanism and system of the present invention with components such as gelatin, NIPAM, BIS, and THPC, and presented the test report as follows.

關於料皿的實驗Experiment on the dish

Gelatin、NIPAM、BIS三種主要成分各使用三個料皿倒藥。最初是直接將藥物放置在不銹鋼料皿上,藥物在空氣中放置過久可能因為潮濕靜電或其他原因而凝結成塊,於下料時無法將藥物完全到出,藥物殘餘情況相當嚴重。於是改進了裝填藥物的表面材質,試過了四種不同性質的鐵氟龍離心膜,還是不能有效的克服粉末沾黏的問題。因此,較佳實施例是藉震動方式來改善藥物殘留的問題。使用震動器後粉末問題明顯改善,殘餘量也可以接受的範圍內約0.01g。THPC為最後倒入之藥物,採用針筒注射,而按照機器的設定來看,放置於機器內等待其加入之間間隔相差55分鐘,可能因為置放過久而有改變性質的疑慮,較佳的解決方案是THPC於最後加入步驟前再抽出。The three main components of Gelatin, NIPAM and BIS are each used in three dishes. Initially, the drug was placed directly on a stainless steel dish. If the drug was left in the air for a long time, it may be clotted due to moisture static electricity or other reasons. The drug could not be completely discharged when the material was cut, and the drug residue was quite serious. Therefore, the surface material of the loaded drug was improved, and four different properties of the Teflon centrifugal film were tried, and the problem of powder sticking could not be effectively overcome. Therefore, the preferred embodiment is to improve the problem of drug residue by means of vibration. The powder problem was significantly improved after using the vibrator, and the residual amount was also acceptable in the range of about 0.01 g. THPC is the last pour-in medicine, which is injected by syringe. According to the setting of the machine, it is better to put it in the machine and wait for 55 minutes between them. It may be because of the long-term disposition. The solution is to extract the THPC before the last step.

關於溫度控制的實驗Experiment on temperature control

依據發明人的實驗,加熱溫度應隨該容器15中所製造之凝膠劑量計的體積不同而選擇不同的加熱溫度,例如,體積100 ml選擇150℃,體積300 ml選擇170℃,體積600 ml選擇200℃,其最主要原因是考量熱功率的問題。實驗過程中發現,若大體積選擇小溫度,如體積600 ml選擇150℃,會導致在前置加熱到45℃的時間會拉長,而影響到備製時間;若小體積選擇大溫度會因為加熱器關閉後表面殘餘溫度將凝膠劑量計溫度往上拉太多而造成溫度太高。According to the experiments of the inventors, the heating temperature should be different depending on the volume of the gel dosimeter manufactured in the container 15, for example, the volume of 100 ml is selected to be 150 ° C, the volume of 300 ml is selected to be 170 ° C, and the volume is 600 ml. The main reason for choosing 200 °C is to consider the problem of thermal power. During the experiment, it was found that if a large volume is selected for a small temperature, such as a volume of 600 ml to select 150 ° C, the time for preheating to 45 ° C will be lengthened, which will affect the preparation time; The surface residual temperature after the heater is turned off pulls the gel dosimeter temperature too high and causes the temperature to be too high.

關於凝膠劑量計之汲送及裝填實驗About the delivery and filling experiment of the gel dosimeter

實驗過程中原始設定20秒填滿一支13c.c.pyrex試管(即上述放置於管杯架台30中的管皿),但實測時會有滿出來的問題,所以較佳的裝填時間縮短為18秒。汲送及裝填速度及時間與蠕動泵浦的硬體條件有關,較佳的方案是依據蠕動泵浦的汲送速度來設定每支試管裝填凝膠劑量計的所需秒數,以準確的時間控制來確保裝填的量不會過多或不足。During the experiment, the original setting was filled for 20 seconds to fill a 13c.c.pyrex test tube (that is, the above-mentioned tube placed in the cup holder table 30), but there was a problem in the actual measurement, so the better filling time was shortened to 18 seconds. The delivery and filling speed and time are related to the hardware conditions of the peristaltic pump. The preferred solution is to set the number of seconds required for each tube to be filled with the gel dosimeter according to the pumping speed of the peristaltic pump. Control to ensure that the amount of loading is not excessive or insufficient.

關於清洗實驗About cleaning experiments

本發明之清潔實驗結果是令人滿意的,它可以在凝膠凝結之前就將之洗出,從而避免了凝膠凝固而卡住管路的問題。The result of the cleaning experiment of the present invention is satisfactory in that it can be washed out before the gel is coagulated, thereby avoiding the problem that the gel solidifies and catches the tubing.
