Abstract:
Abstract: Objective Under the guidance of cone-beam CT (CBCT) images, the setup error of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for liver cancer was measured, and the effect of setup error on the PTV and organ-at-risk (OAR) dose in the target area was discussed. Methods 13 liver cancer patients who received SBRT was reviewed retrospectively. CBCT image was taken before each daily radiotherapy and then the gray-scale registration was done with the planning CT images. Based on the coach shifting parameters from the tumor target area and OAR position,the dose distribution in the planning system was calculated, and the effects of coach shifting parameters on a series of dosimetric parameters such as PTV, OAR dose, uniformity index (HI), and conformity index (CI) was analyzed. Results After correction, the setup errors in X, Y and Z directions are (0.47±2.00), (1.54±4.16) and (0.10±2.77) mm respectively, and the setup error is larger in Y direction. Compared with the minimum displacement, the maximum displacement has a significant effect on the target area, HI and CIF. As for OARs, compared with the original plan, the dose distribution of the maximum displacement in the left kidney and small intestine is statistically significant in the Dmean and Dmax, and the dose distribution of the minimum displacement in the right kidney is statistically significant in the Dmean. Conclusion The effect of setup error ≤3 mm on the dose of target area is smaller than that >5 mm, but the effect still has a significant impact on the minimum dose and coverage rate. In order to achieve accurate radiotherapy, the setup error should be minimized as much as possible.
