The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of performing patient specification quality assurance for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy. The study evaluated ten intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment plans using 10 MV beams, a total dose of 60 Gy (2 Gy/fraction, five fractions a week for a total of six weeks treatment). For the quality assurance protocol we used a two-dimensional ionization-chamber array (2D-ARRAY). The results showed a very good agreement between the measured dose and the pretreatment planned dose. All the plans passed >95% gamma criterion with pixels within 5% dose difference and 3 mm distance to agreement. We concluded that using the 2D-ARRAY ion chamber for intensity modulated radiation therapy is an important step for intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment plans, and this study has shown that our treatment planning for intensity modulated radiation therapy is accurately done.
本研究旨在评估对接受调强放射治疗的多形性胶质母细胞瘤患者进行患者规范质量保证的意义。该研究使用 10MV 射线评估了 10 个调强放射治疗计划,总剂量为 60Gy(2Gy/分次,每周 5 次,共 6 周治疗)。对于质量保证方案,我们使用了二维电离室阵列(2D-ARRAY)。结果表明,测量剂量与预处理计划剂量之间具有非常好的一致性。所有计划均通过 >95%的伽马标准,像素之间的剂量差异小于 5%,距离一致小于 3mm。我们得出结论,使用 2D-ARRAY 离子室进行调强放射治疗是调强放射治疗计划的重要步骤,本研究表明我们的调强放射治疗计划是准确完成的。
