We evaluated whether the field-in-field (FIF) technique improves the homogeneity of the target in high tangent radiation therapy (HTRT).
This study included 30 patients. In total, 3 HTRT plans were created: 1 with conventional opposed fields (Conv-p), 1 with the FIF technique (FIF-p), and 1 with FIF technique using lung-blocked subfields (FIF-LB-p).
The maximum dose of the breast and planning target volume (PTV) was significantly lower for FIF-p and FIF-LB-p than Conv-p. Homogeneity index of PTV was also significantly lower for FIF-p and FIF-LB-p than Conv-p. Homogeneity index of the breast or PTV was significantly better for FIF-p than FIF-LB-p. The volumes of the breast or the PTV receiving 95% and 90% of the prescribed dose were also significantly better for FIF-p, indicating the advantages of FIF-p.
The FIF technique was useful in HTRT and improved homogeneity in the target.
我们评估了在高切线放疗(HTRT)中,野中野(FIF)技术是否能改善靶区的均匀性。
本研究纳入30例患者。共制定了3个HTRT计划:1个采用传统对穿野(Conv-p),1个采用FIF技术(FIF-p),1个采用使用肺部遮挡子野的FIF技术(FIF-LB-p)。
FIF-p和FIF-LB-p的乳房及计划靶区(PTV)的最大剂量显著低于Conv-p。FIF-p和FIF-LB-p的PTV均匀性指数也显著低于Conv-p。FIF-p的乳房或PTV均匀性指数显著优于FIF-LB-p。FIF-p的乳房或PTV接受95%和90%处方剂量的体积也显著更优,表明FIF-p的优势。
FIF技术在HTRT中有用,并改善了靶区的均匀性。
