Description
Mesa para braquiterapia con imágenes de tomografía computerizada, resonancia magnética y tomografía por emisión de positrones.Table for brachytherapy with images of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and tomography Positron emission.
La invención se encuadra dentro de la oncológica radioterápica, concretamente en la realización de tratamientos con braquiterapia.The invention falls within the oncology radiotherapy, specifically in performing treatments with brachytherapy
Actualmente, para realizar un tratamiento de braquiterapia, es necesario obtener imágenes del implante realizado, que se obtienen con un sistema de rayos X convencional (radiografía).Currently, to perform a treatment of brachytherapy, it is necessary to obtain images of the implant performed, which are obtained with a conventional x-ray system (bone scan).
Las imágenes radiográficas no muestran los tejidos blandos y otras estructuras anatómicas, lo cual, en la actualidad las convierte en un sistema de imagen limitado.The radiographic images do not show the soft tissues and other anatomical structures, which, in the Nowadays it turns them into a limited image system.
Actualmente, existen sistemas de diagnóstico, basados en imágenes, mucho mas precisos y completos. Estos sistemas (tomografía computerizada, resonancia magnética y tomografía por emisión de positrones) son actualmente los mas idóneos para la obtención de imágenes en los implantes de braquiterapia, no solo por su calidad de imagen, sino también por su precisión y por ser imágenes digitales.Currently, there are diagnostic systems, based on images, much more precise and complete. These systems (computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and tomography positron emission) are currently the most suitable for imaging in brachytherapy implants, not only because of its image quality, but also for its accuracy and for being digital images
Para poder obtener imágenes para braquiterapia, provenientes de tomografía computerizada (CT), resonancia magnética (RM) o tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET), es necesario, un sistema de transporte y posicionamiento del paciente, compatible físicamente con las máquinas de diagnostico que se desee utilizar (CT, RM, PET).In order to obtain images for brachytherapy, from computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET), a patient transport and positioning system, compatible physically with the diagnostic machines that you want to use (CT, RM, PET).
Además, se debe garantizar la misma posición del paciente desde la realización del implante de braquiterapia, durante la obtención de imágenes y la aplicación final del tratamiento de braquiterapia.In addition, the same position of the patient since performing the brachytherapy implant, during imaging and the final application of the treatment of brachytherapy
La presente invención, se basa en un sistema de transporte e inmovilización de pacientes tratados con braquiterapia, que permite la obtención de imágenes desde diferentes sistemas de diagnóstico (CT, RM, PET).The present invention is based on a system of transport and immobilization of patients treated with brachytherapy, which allows obtaining images from different systems of diagnosis (CT, MRI, PET).
El sistema consta de un bastidor de transporte dotado de ruedas para su movilidad, fabricado con material y dimensiones compatibles con la máquina, o máquinas, de diagnóstico que se desee utilizar (CT, RM, PET, anteriormente mencionados). Este bastidor (B) es divisible en dos mitades accionando una palanca de bloqueo (D). Para mantener la integridad y la rigidez del bastidor (B) cuando ambas mitades están unidas, se utilizan unas barras (C) en los extremos del bastidor. Estas barras son desmontables, permitiendo así, la separación de las dos mitades del bastidor.The system consists of a transport frame equipped with wheels for mobility, made of material and dimensions compatible with the machine, or diagnostic machines that you want to use (CT, RM, PET, mentioned above). This frame (B) is divisible into two halves by operating a lever lock (D). To maintain integrity and rigidity of the frame (B) when both halves are joined, bars are used (C) at the ends of the frame. These bars are removable, thus allowing the separation of the two halves of the frame.
Además, el sistema cuenta con una superficie, o tablero, de fibra de carbono que no produce artefactos indeseables en las imágenes obtenidas.In addition, the system has a surface, or Carbon fiber board that does not produce undesirable artifacts in the images obtained.
Todo ello permite la obtención de imágenes del paciente, manteniendo la misma posición durante todo el proceso, realizar el cálculo dosimétrico individualizado para cada paciente, teniendo en cuenta la anatomía, incluido el tumor, pudiendo realizar el cálculo en tiempo real. Permite también, hacer de manera más precisa el cálculo de u dosis, realizar técnicas mucho más complejas como la fusión de imágenes y la suma de dosis de braquiterapia y radioterapia externa, y garantizar la inmovilidad del paciente desde la obtención de las imágenes durante el cálculo dosimétrico hasta la aplicación de u fuente radiactiva.All this allows to obtain images of the patient, maintaining the same position throughout the process, perform the individualized dosimetric calculation for each patient, taking into account the anatomy, including the tumor, being able to perform Real time calculation. It also allows you to do more Precise calculation of a dose, perform much more complex techniques such as the fusion of images and the sum of doses of brachytherapy and external radiotherapy, and guarantee the patient's immobility from obtaining the images during the dosimetric calculation until the Application of a radioactive source.
Para la descripción de la invención utilizamos dos figuras. Figura 1: sistema montado, en perspectiva lateral, y figura 2: sistema, con sus diferentes componentes separados, en perspectiva lateral.For the description of the invention we use Two figures Figure 1: mounted system, in lateral perspective, and Figure 2: system, with its different components separated, in lateral perspective
El sistema consta de:The system consists of:
1.- Un bastidor metálico no magnético, realizado en aluminio, o acero inoxidable (elemento B), divisible en dos mitades accionando una palanca de bloqueo, (elemento D).1.- A non-magnetic metal frame, made in aluminum, or stainless steel (element B), divisible in two halves by operating a locking lever, (element D).
Para mantener u integridad y rigidez del bastidor cuando ambas mitades están unidas, se utilizan unas barras en los extremos del bastidor (elemento C). Dichas barras son desmontables, permitiendo de esta forma la división de las dos mitades del bastidor (elementos B). Estas barras están fabricadas en el mismo material que el resto del bastidor.To maintain or integrity and rigidity of frame when both halves are joined, bars are used at the ends of the frame (element C). These bars are removable, thus allowing the division of the two frame halves (elements B). These bars are manufactured in the same material as the rest of the frame.
2.- Una superficie o tablero móvil, realizado en estructura sándwich de fibra de carbono (elemento A).2.- A surface or mobile board, made in Carbon fiber sandwich structure (item A).
Por su composición, este tablero no produce artefactos en las imágenes diagnósticas obtenidas, sirviendo de soporte y manteniendo la misma posición del paciente durante el proceso de obtención de imágenes y posterior tratamiento.By its composition, this board does not produce artifacts in the diagnostic images obtained, serving as support and maintaining the same position of the patient during imaging process and subsequent treatment.
