摘要:

目的:评估心跳引起的脑运动对同步加速器微束和小束辐射治疗中剂量分布的影响,并建立一个模型,以帮助指导未来临床试验的决策和计划。研究方法:Monte Carlo程序PENMENTAL PE用于模拟各种微束和小束阵列对人体头部体模的辐照,分别具有窄于100 μ m和500 μ m以上的束,以及1cm × 2cm和2cm × 2cm的辐射场。通过叠加1 mumx 2cm单射束获得的剂量分布,计算这些射束在体模中的剂量。一个参数δ,占总位移的大脑在照射过程中,由于心脏同步脉动,被用来量化的影响峰谷剂量比和半峰全宽。结果如下:当参数$δ$增加时,峰谷剂量比的最大值(在体模入口处)和最小值(在体模出口处)之间的差值减小。对于任何$δ$值,半峰全宽几乎保持不变。在头部模型中存在的各种组织(脑、颅骨和皮肤)之间的界面处观察到两个量的突然变化。当δ增加时,头部模型中心的峰谷剂量比减小,仅对于微射束和小于~ 200 μ m的δ保持在静态值的70%以上。结论:利用同步辐射微束和小型束梳进行脑治疗的最佳设置取决于由于心脏同步脉动引起的脑位移。峰谷剂量比大于90%的静态情况下获得的最大值只发生在小束和相对较大的剂量率。

英文摘要:

Purpose: To assess the effects of brain movements induced by heartbeat on dose distributions in synchrotron micro- and mini-beam radiaton therapy and to develop a model to help guide decisions and planning for future clinical trials. Methods: The Monte Carlo code PENELOPE was used to simulate the irradiation of a human head phantom with a variety of micro- and mini-beam arrays, with beams narrower than 100mum and above 500mum, respectively, and with radiation fields of 1cmx2cm and 2cmx2cm. The dose in the phantom due to these beams was calculated by superposing the dose profiles obtained for a single beam of 1mumx2cm. A parameter delta, accounting for the total displacement of the brain during the irradiation and due to the cardio-synchronous pulsation, was used to quantify the impact on peak-to-valley dose ratios and the full-width at half-maximum. Results: The difference between the maximum (at the phantom entrance) and the minimum (at the phantom exit) values of the peak-to-valley dose ratio reduces when the parameter $δ$ increases. The full-width at half-maximum remains almost constant with depth for any $δ$ value. Sudden changes in the two quantities are observed at the interfaces between the various tissues (brain, skull and skin) present in the head phantom. The peak-to-valley dose ratio at the center of the head phantom reduces when delta increases, remaining above 70% of the static value only for mini-beams and delta smaller than ~200mum. Conclusions: Optimal setups for brain treatments with synchrotron radiation micro- and mini-beam combs depend on the brain displacement due to cardio-synchronous pulsation. Peak-to-valley dose ratios larger than 90% of the maximum values obtained in the static case occur only for mini-beams and relatively large dose rates.
