Development of Accurate/Advanced Radiotherapy Treatment Planning and Quality Assurance System (ARTS)

A prototype of accurate/advanced radiotherapy treatment planning and quality assurance system (ARTS) is developed and key technical issues related to the improvement of the treatment accuracy is studied. After a brief introduction to the prototype of ARTS, the advanced development in key technical issues is presented, including image data processing and human body modeling, fast and accurate hybrid dose calculation, multi-objective optimization of inverse planning, intelligent patient positioning, and dose verification.     

精确放射治疗中改进的楔形挡板剂量修正算法

在精确放射治疗中,精确计算楔形挡板的楔形因子是精确修正加入楔形挡板后剂量值的关键。提出了基于衰减系数法思想的改进楔形野剂量修正算法,首先计算了楔形挡板材料的线性衰减系数,再根据楔形挡板的实际剖面尺寸,建立了线性拟合公式计算射线束穿过楔形挡板的实际厚度,精确计算楔形因子,并以AAPM55号报告提供的45°楔形挡板进行了验证。该方法在保证计算精度的同时减少了大量离轴测量数据,减轻了物理师的负担,可以作为一种有效的楔形挡板修正算法应用于放射治疗计划系统中。
