Treatment Planning in 3D CRT
3
3D CRT Target defined in soft tissues on CT images
Higher target/OAR doses than in 2D CRT 3D Treatment planning Safety margins must be considered while designing treatment field ICRU 50(1993) and ICRU 62(1999) set the standard for dose planning and dose reporting reference volumes.
4
PTV concept: pros CTV = Clinical Target Volume (visible + microscopic disease) PTV = Planning Target Volume Forced people to explicitely incorporate geometrical uncertainties into treatment planning Very appropriate tool for CRT: not too simple, not too complex.
5
‘Margin recipes’ Analytical solution for spherical targets (van Herk 2000) Derived/verified with simulations for real cases (e.g. Stroom 1999, Van Herk 2002) as a function of population-based data on geometrical uncertainties
6
Different 'recipes' according to the desired probability level
PTV planning= same dose prescription for all points above a given probability of presence for target cell
7
PTV: cons Use of accurately defined margins still quite rare
Dose homogeneity in the PTV became a must more for technical than for clinical reasons N.B. IGRT mostly aims at reducing PTV margins without radically changing PTV-based RT techniques Most important: the PTV concept works only if three assumptions are valid:
8
PTV - playing by the rules
The PTV is a tool for dose planning and dose reporting. There are three underlying assumptions: 1. The dose distribution is invariant for (small) translations and rotations 2. The margins are chosen appropriately as a function of the geometrical uncertainties one wants to compensate for 3. The dose distribution in the PTV is as homogeneous as possible. Condition1 is granted using photons, 2 and 3 must be ensured using correct planning practices.

? + = CTV PTV expansion OAR CTV OAR As if one should prefer
homogeneous doses in the wrong PTV instead of heterogenous doses in the right PTV

Treatment planning in IMRT
11
More degrees of freedom More need to know what you want CRT IMRT
12
How to tell a machine what we want from it ?

Still struggling with TP in IMRT

14
In IMRT si hanno molti più gradi di libertà che in CRT, troppi per poter essere gestiti ‘a mano’.
Gli scopi del trattamento devono essere espressi in un linguaggio comprensibile tanto dall’uomo quanto dalla macchina L’ottimizzazione in IMRT è la gestione via macchina di una serie di obiettivi intrinsecamente in contraddizione.
15
Funzione di costo Traduzione quantitativa delle caratteristiche del piano di trattamento in termini di Obiettivi di dose (e.g. Dmin, Dmax) Intenti del trattamento (e.g. controllare la dose vs. massimizzarla/minimizzarla) Trattamenti precedenti Informazioni biologico/funzionali Informazioni geometriche (e.g. errori di set-up) Parametri di erogazione …

The objective cost function
1. Evaluator Quantifies a relevant feature of the plan 2. Modifier A function f of the difference between the actual (E) and the desired (E0) value of the evaluator Dmean Dmin/Dmax DVHpoint # segments treatment time plan robustness …
17
3-step IMRT treatment planning
1. Fluence optimization Cost function minimization Up to 10^4 ‘beamlets’ Dose calc: fast but not very accurate 2. Segmentation Mechanical and dosimetrical MLC parameters are included Deterioration of the dose distribution 3. Final dose calculation No reoptimization Dose calculations: slower, but more accurate than in step 1.
18
Aperture based treatment planning
1. Initial fluence optimization 2. Initial Segmentation 3. Tuning of a deliverable plan Taking benefit of degeneracy --> More efficient delivery Less computational burden = Possibility of using accurate dose algorithms
19
What do we talk about when we talk about
? Patient specific QA
20
Don’t forget the big picture
Huq et al, IJROBP (1) Supp.
21
2-D dosimetry + gamma analysis
What is patient specific in this approach? The beam setting Which aspect of the treatment chain is evaluated? The head model In most cases, field by field analysis Some techniques require whole treatment verification (e.g. VMAT)
22
Monte Carlo dose calculation (Tübingen)
Main advantages 1)It solves the main dosimetric problem of IMRT dose calculation algorithms (source model) 2)Combined with hardware QA, it allows to come back to separate hw e sw QA, as in CRT

27
Tecniche ad arco. Perché?
Aumento numero di campi >> aumento gradi di libertà Migliore conformazione della dose In caso di target concavi migliore risparmio degli OAR Erogazione più veloce e riduzione movimenti intra-fraction Molti parlano inoltre di migliore efficienza e riduzione MU, ma l’affermazione è discutibile From De Neve, in “Image-guided IMRT”, Springer Ed. 2007

Tomoterapia seriale/elicoidale
Cone Beam Dose erogata in una singola/multipla rotazione del gantry Durante la rotazione la fluenza è modulata: - Variazione forma del campo(movimento lamelle MLC) - Variazione dei pesi dei campi (variazione di intensità) Fan Beam Dose erogata grazie ad un fan beam che ruota continuamente in concomitanza alla traslazione del lettino Durante la rotazione la fluenza è modulata: - Variazione forma del campo - Variazione dei pesi dei beamlets Tomoterapia seriale/elicoidale Tecniche Conformal Arc, AMOA, IMAT, VMAT

IMRT (Angoli fissi) IMAT (Archi multipli) VMAT Single arc
35
Tomoterapia Il gantry ruota per 360° creando 51 proiezioni
Modulazione ottenuta variando il tempo di On/Off per ogni lamella Velocità di rotazione del gantry e tempo di trattamento dipendono da: dose di prescrizione, lunghezza target, dose rate
