Description

Quantitative detection system for morphological change in radiotherapy process
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical equipment, relates to a quantitative detection system for morphological change in the radiation therapy process, and is a self-adaptive radiation therapy system suitable for superficial tumors.
Background
Malignant tumor is a disease that seriously threatens human survival and health, and the treatment of malignant tumor is one of the most concerned problems in the medical field. Radiotherapy is one of three general methods for treating malignant tumors, and is suitable for about 70 percent of tumor patients. Radiation therapy uses energetic particle radiation to suppress and destroy tumor cells, but also inevitably inflicts some damage to surrounding normal tissue.
Modern intensity modulated radiotherapy technology generates high dose gradient around the tumor by adjusting the intensity of the beam in the irradiation field, so that the deposited dose of high-energy particle rays falls off rapidly at the edge of the tumor, thereby better protecting normal tissues. This high gradient dose distribution also carries risks while satisfying tumor therapy and normal tissue protection: once the shape and position of the tumor are changed, the tumor tissue partially or even completely falls out of the high dose range, and the normal tissue moves into the high dose area, so that the dosage in the tumor tissue is insufficient, and the normal tissue is subjected to overhigh radiation. Therefore, the requirement of people on the accuracy of each link in the radiotherapy process is continuously improved.
Since the conventional radiotherapy treatment course is about 4-6 weeks, the shape, volume and position of the tumor often change in the course of the treatment, and therefore the change of the tumor needs to be monitored during the treatment course, and the radiotherapy plan needs to be adjusted according to the change. This type of therapy, which adapts the plan according to changes in the patient's tumor, is called adaptive radiotherapy. Current means of monitoring tumor changes are primarily CT or cone beam CT (cbct) scans. Since CT/CBCT is an X-ray scanning imaging mode, additional radiation is caused to a patient, and the risk of secondary tumor of the patient is increased.
As can be seen from the above description, adaptive radiotherapy based on CT/CBCT monitoring brings extra radiation dose to the patient, so that the monitoring cannot be repeated for many times, and the treatment plan is difficult to adjust in time.
