Contouring during adaptive radiotherapy (ART) can be a time-consuming process. This study describes the generation of patient specific contouring regions of interest (CRoI) for evaluating the high dose fall-off in stereotactic abdominal ART. An empirical equation was derived to determine the radius of a cylindrical patient specific CRoIs. These CRoIs were applied to 60 patients and their adaptive fractions (301 unique treatment plans). Out of the 301 unique treatment plans, 284 (94%) treatment plans contained the high dose fall-off within the CRoI. There was an expected predicted average timesaving of 2.9-min-per case. Patient specific CRoIs improves the efficiency of ART.
自适应放疗(ART)过程中的轮廓勾画可能是一个耗时的过程。本研究描述了用于评估立体定向腹部ART中高剂量剂量跌落的患者特异性感兴趣轮廓区域(CRoI)的生成。推导了一个经验方程来确定圆柱形患者特异性CRoI的半径。这些CRoI应用于60例患者及其自适应分次照射(301个独特的治疗计划)。在301个独特的治疗计划中,284个(94%)治疗计划的高剂量剂量跌落包含在CRoI内。预计每例患者平均可节省2.9分钟。患者特异性CRoI提高了ART的效率。
