Real-time tumor-tracking volumetric modulated arc therapy (RT-VMAT) enabling beam-gating based on continuous X-ray tracking of the three-dimensional position of internal markers is relevant for moving tumors. Dose-volume characteristics and treatment time were evaluated in ten consecutive patients who underwent liver stereotactic body radiation therapy with RT-VMAT. Target dose conformity and sparing of the stomach and the intestine were improved comparing RT-VMAT with RT-3D conformal radiotherapy. The mean treatment time for each fraction was less than 10 min. RT-VMAT could be effective, especially for targets located adjacent to organs at risk.
基于内部标记物三维位置的连续X射线跟踪实现束流门控的实时肿瘤跟踪容积调强弧形放疗(RT-VMAT)对移动肿瘤具有重要意义。对连续10例行肝脏立体定向体部放疗的RT-VMAT患者的剂量体积特征和治疗时间进行了评估。与RT-3D适形放疗相比,RT-VMAT改善了靶区剂量适形性以及胃和肠道的保护。每个分割的平均治疗时间不到10分钟。RT-VMAT可能是有效的,特别是对于位于危及器官附近的靶区。
