Abstract

The aim of this study is to visualize the radiation dose on anatomical structures during radiation therapy (RT) by mapping radiation dose deposition and tracking anatomical structures simultaneously. A dual-modality volumetric imaging system, which combines ionizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) and ultrasound (US) imaging, was developed to provide dose deposition and anatomical information in real-time during RT. The performance of the proposed system was first evaluated via experiments on tissue-mimicking phantoms driven by a custom motion stage. By using US imaging to correct the position of anatomical structures, the dose mapping accuracy of the system increased by up to 0.51 in structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and 74.60 % in Gamma passing rate (GPR) compared to standalone iRAI. A subsequent study on a rabbit model further confirmed the capability of the system in mapping of the radiation dose deposition in the target tissue as well as its change caused by the motion mainly due to the animal breath. These findings demonstrate that this first-of-its-kind dual-modality volumetric imaging system can provide volumetric dose-on-anatomy information during RT. After further validation in clinic, this technique holds potential for enhancing RT outcomes by ensuring accurate alignment between the planned radiation beams, the target, and surrounding organs at risk.

摘要

本研究的目的是通过同时绘制辐射剂量沉积图和跟踪解剖结构,来可视化放射治疗(RT)期间解剖结构上的辐射剂量。开发了一种结合电离辐射声成像(iRAI)和超声(US)成像的双模态容积成像系统,以在RT期间实时提供剂量沉积和解剖信息。首先通过在由定制运动平台驱动的组织模拟体模上进行实验,评估了所提出系统的性能。与独立的iRAI相比,通过使用US成像来校正解剖结构的位置,系统的剂量映射精度在结构相似性指数测量(SSIM)中提高了高达0.51,在伽马通过率(GPR)中提高了74.60%。随后在兔模型上进行的一项研究进一步证实了该系统在绘制靶组织中的辐射剂量沉积及其因主要由动物呼吸引起的运动而产生的变化方面的能力。这些发现表明,这种首创的双模态容积成像系统可以在RT期间提供解剖结构上的容积剂量信息。在临床中进一步验证后,该技术有望通过确保计划的辐射束、靶区和周围危险器官之间的精确对准来提高RT效果。
