1 Implementation of Cone-beam CT imaging for Radiotherapy treatment localisation. Andrew Bridges Clinical Scientist Diagnostic Radiology & Radiation Protection Physics
2 Overview What is CBCT? Use of CBCT in Radiotherapy Dosimetry Concomitant Doses Issues with CBCT Dosimetry Image Quality Protocol Optimisation
3 Fan beam vs Cone beam
4 Use of kv CBCT Radiology: Interventional Radiology: Rotation angiography Orthopaedics: Pelvis fractures & Hip Dysplasia Radiotherapy??? Image guided radiotherapy: H&N, Chest, Pelvis, etc.
5 Why is it used in Radiotherapy? Localisation of tumours required to ensure accurate delivery of treatment. Planar MV imaging provides limited localisation using bony anatomy. Unable to correct for tumour motion between fractions and so causes loss of tumour control and increased normal tissue irradiation. kv imaging provides soft tissue contrast and comparison with planning CT This allows the treatment to be corrected for the tumour motion.
6 Situation at UHCW Two Elekta Linear Accelerators fitted with Synergy XVI kv Cone-beam systems. Use of these linear accelerators is targeted at Head & neck (limited margins) and prostate (organ motion) patients. Patients are scanned daily and image registration is carried out between planning CT and CBCT. The image registration matches bony anatomy and Soft tissue structures between the two data sets automated mostly. ( Grey level matching) Registration is reviewed and the table corrections are applied. If table correction is greater than 10mm in any one direction, then this is reviewed by the Oncologist and a Radiotherapy Physicist; this may require a re-plan.
7 Commissioning Follows similar testing as other diagnostic imaging equipment: Tube & Generator Performance in Planar mode, HVL, Field Sizes Dosimetry CTDI air, CTDI w. Image Quality Spatial Resolution & Contrast Visibility. Radiation Protection Critical Exam, Leakage, Control measures Geometric alignment. Defining Presets Scanning Protocols Further details: Lehmann, J., et al., Commissioning experience with cone-beam computed tomography for image-guided radiation therapy. J Appl Clin Med Phys, (3): p2354
8 Dosimetry? Breakdown of CTDI100 with wider collimations >40mm. XVI CBCT collimation >13.5cm Guidance: AAPM TG111, IAEA Human Health Report 5, etc. Recently reviewed (postcommissioning):
9 CTDI air,100 (mgy) CTDI 25 Each protocol was assessed following the IAEA CTDI free-in-air method with a 3.2cc pencil CT chamber (100m length) Abdomen M20 Abdomen M10 CTDI Free in air L N T i n i 1 L = incremental movement Stepped Movement of chamber through cone-beam field of view using accurate table movements. D i Displacement of chamber (mm) -5 Distance from isocentre (mm) Pelvis M20 Protocol measurement L/NxT D i (mgy) CTDI air (mgy)
10 CTDI cont d CTDIw measurements carried out using 16/32cm PMMA phantom. Limited width of phantom (~15cm), approx. to S/M10 collimators. Addition of PMMA next to phantom to provide additional scatter. S/M10 ~ 1% & S/M20 ~ 6% Anatomy Collimator kv Elekta Presets mas CTDI w (mgy) Head & Neck S Head & Neck S Chest M Pelvis M Pelvis M Prostate M Prostate M
11 CTDI cont d Issues with both CTDI measurements were found, in particular tube cooling. For CTDIair, rotational & static (Planar) measurements were made. Static measurements approx. 12% greater than rotational. For CTDI w, the 32cm Phantom required significantly higher exposure parameters due to problems with continuous exposure of the chamber on the periphery.
12 Why do concomitant doses matter? Legally, IRMER 2000 requires Justification Justification should occur for each individual patient, based on the risk and benefit of the examination. Therefore, impact of daily CBCT needs to quantified. Allows comparison between imaging used within the treatment pathway Planning CT, Portal (MV) imaging & CBCT Practical reason - Provides dose estimates for Organs At Risk (OAR).
13 How do we calculate them? ImPACT Calculator (1.0.4) Siemens DRH (125kV) No selected collimation, pitch =1 Input CTDI air & n CTDI w Assessed each CBCT protocol and then proceeded to carry out the same with CT simulator protocols.

16 Optimisation of Protocols Elekta provide the presets for which our calculations were completed. As a result of the image quality testing further dose reduction and optimisation seemed reasonable for the body protocols, in terms of Exposure and Reconstruction parameters.
