Abstract

전림프계의 방사선치료시 선형가속기와 토모테라피를 이용하여 치료계획 수립 시 유용성을 확인하였다. 실험에 동의한 실험대상자 15명(남: 7명, 여: 8명)의 모의치료영상을 Somatom Sansation Open 16 channel으로 획득하여 이를 각각 의료용 선형가속기 치료계획 장치와 토모테라피 치료계획 장치로 전송하고 종양체적과 정상조직(전체 폐, 척수, 우측신장, 좌측신장)을 구분하여 종양조직에 750 cGy를 설정하여 종양조직의 선량 적합성, 정상조직의 선량흡수정도, 선량분포양상 그리고 선량체적곡선을 비교하여 평가하였으며 SPSS Ver. 18.0을 이용하여 대응표본검정을 실시하였다. 종양의 흡수선량 측정결과 토모테라피의 경우 <TEX>$751.0{\pm}4.7cGy$</TEX>, 선형가속기는 <TEX>$746.9{\pm}14.1cGy$</TEX>의 선량을 보였으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p>0.05). 정상조직의 경우 전체 폐, 척수, 우측신장, 좌측신장에 입사되는 평균 방사선량은 토모테라피가 선형가속기보다 다소 낮은 방사선 흡수량을 보였다. 선량체적곡선에서 종양조직 및 정상조직 모두 적합한 양상을 보였다. 즉, 종양 및 정상조직의 선량흡수정도, 선량분포양상, 선량체적 곡선을 살펴본 결과 모두 적합한 치료효과비를 보인 것으로 판단되며 토모테라피 치료가 다소 높은 치료효율을 보였다. 토모테라피를 이용한 치료는 폐쇄형 치료공간과 긴 치료시간의 단점이 있기 때문에 오랜시간 자세재현이 불가능한 환자의 경우, 제한적으로 선형가속기 치료를 실시하여도 무방할 것으로 판단된다. In this study, compare and analyze the dose distribution and availability of radiation therapy when using a different devices to TNI(Total Lymphnodal Irradiation). Test subjects(patients) are 15 people(Male 7, Female 8). Acquire CT Simulation images of the 15 people using Somatom Sansation Open 16 channel and then acquired images was transferred to each treatment planning system Pinnacle Ver 8.0 and Tomotherapy Planning System and separate the tumor tissue and normal tissues(whole lung, spinal cord, Rt kidney, Lt kidney). Tumor prescription dose was set to 750 cGy. and then Compare the Dose Compatibility, Normal Tissue's Absorbed Dose, Dose Distribution and DVH. Statistical analysis was performed SPSS Ver. 18.0 by paired sample Assay. The absorbed dose in the tumor tissue was <TEX>$751.0{\pm}4.7cGy$</TEX> in tomotherapy planning, <TEX>$746.9{\pm}14.1cGy$</TEX> in linac. Tomotherapy's absorbed dose in the tumor was more appropriate than linac. and These values are not statistically significant(p>0.05). Tomotherapy plan's absorbed dose in the normal tissues were less than linac's plan. This value was statistically significant(p<0.05) excepted of whole lung. In DVH, appropriated on tumor and normal tissues in tomotherapy and linac but tomotherapy's TER was better than linac. Namely, a result of Absorbed dose in tumor and normal tissue, Dose distribution pattern, DVH, Both radiation therapy devices were appropriated in radiation therapy on TER. The Linac has a short treatment time(about 15-20 min) and open space on treatment time. It cause infant and pediatric patients to receiving uncomfortable treatment. So, In this case, it will be fine that Linac based therapy was restricted use. and if the patient was cooperative, it will be show a better prognosis that Tomotherapy using Radiation Therapy.
