Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To establish a novel clinical application process of the optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) guided volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for total body irradiation (TBI), and to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of OSMS in inter-fractional auxiliary positioning before radiotherapy and real-time monitoring of intra-fractional motion during radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 15 leukemia patients who underwent OSMS-guided VMAT-TBI before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CT simulation positioning was performed, and the whole-body image data which were collected in head-first supine position (HFS) and feet-first supine position (FFS) were transmitted to the treatment planning system for image registration, multicenter VMAT planning and dose verification. The prescription dose was 800 cGy in 4 fractions twice daily. OSMS was used to assist positioning before delivery, and CBCT was used for position verification. During treatment, OSMS was used for monitoring. The intra-fractional error monitored by OSMS in real time was obtained by analyzing the offline log files. Results The mean dose and coverage of the target area in HFS plan were (905.4±19.0) cGy and 93.0%±2.8%. The mean doses to lung and kidney were (603.7±55.7) cGy and (600.4±49.6) cGy, respectively, and the maximum dose to the lens was (393.9±58.9) cGy. The mean dose and coverage of the target area in FFS plan were (888.5±58.9) cGy and 94.0%±3.2% and the maximum dose at the junction was (1 148.9±72.9) cGy. Fractional treatment delivery time was (75.1±15.1) min. OSMS-assisted positioning was carried out before delivery, and the total deviations of CBCT three-dimensional vector in translational and rotation directions were (2.71±1.96) mm and 0.91°±0.90°, respectively. The three-dimensional vector deviation of the intra-fractional motion amplitude in translational direction monitored by OSMS during the treatment was (1.95±1.88) mm, of which the deviation within 1 mm accounted for 57.5%, 79.7% and 62.1% in longitudinal, lateral and vertical directions, respectively. The three-dimensional vector deviation in rotation direction was 0.76°±0.72°, of which the deviation within 1° accounted for 93.1%, 85.7% and 94.3% in rotation, pitch and roll directions, respectively. Conclusion VMAT simplifies TBI process, while improving target coverage and organs-at-risk sparing. The use of OSMS can reduce positioning errors, especially rotation errors. In order to ensure the accurate implementation of TBI and the safety of patients, it is necessary to use OSMS for auxiliary positioning and intra-fractional position monitoring.
