Description

Radiotherapy in lung cancer lump motion accompanying shield system
Technical field
The invention belongs to medicine equipment auxiliary treatment apparatus field, and in particular to a kind of radiotherapy in lung cancer lump motion accompanying shield system.
Background technology
During radiotherapy in lung cancer, the tumor motion caused by patient respiration can produce considerable influence to radiotherapy.For this influence, mainly there are three kinds of solutions at present.First method is to expand target of prophylactic radiotherapy with the tumour of abundant covering motion, and the more normal structures of patient can be made to receive radiation exposure in this way.Second method is gate radiotherapy technology, only held one's breath in patient or the breathing last period is to tumor region progress radiotherapy, thus the influence of tumor motion can be reduced to a certain extent, such as the american documentation literature of entitled " Methodandsystemforphysiologicalgatingofradiationtherapy " (US6690965B1), the well-regulated physiological movement of patient is detected by optics or video image system, when moving past a certain threshold value, just start gate-control signal, suspend the irradiation of radioactive source.Its major defect is that breathing to patient and state have certain requirement, and can increase the time of radiotherapy.
The third method is the dynamic radiotherapy technology occurred in recent years, according to the tumor motion situation detected in real time, and the position of dynamic adjustment beam or tumour realizes that beam and tumour are substantially aligned, so as to reduce the border of target area.Such as the patent document of entitled " image guiding and tracking method based on prediction " (Publication No. CN101428154A) and entitled " real-time tracking method for dynamic tumor " (Publication No. CN101423198A), quantified and analyzed by tumor anatomical structure image and breathing state feature set to input, set up the correlation of respiratory movement and tumor motion, and the image and breathing state feature of dynamic tumor are obtained in real time, pass through the breathing state feature after prediction time delay, determine corresponding shape of tumor constant interval image sequence, it is matched with the dynamic tumor image obtained in real time and optimal shape of tumor figure is therefrom chosen, to realize the motion tracking to tumour.The two patent documents are by the registration of multiple image come tracking of knub position, calculate than relatively time-consuming, the requirement of real-time tracking tumor motion can not be met, in addition, the patent document is to how the result for moving tracking of knub for Patients During Radiotherapy does not provide effective method.
