TQA数据趋势与TomoTherapy输出稳定性的联系
Correlation between TQA data trends and output of helical tomotherapy
【摘要】 目的:探讨TomoTherapy Quality Assurance(TQA)数据趋势与螺旋断层放疗(Helical Tomotherapy,HT)系统输出的联系。方法:回顾性分析了本院HT系统近3年内TQA各个模块的参数和数据趋势,探讨其与HT系统的静态输出剂量和输出能量(D20/D10)变化的相关性。结果:楔形阶梯静态模块的z轴偏移参数与HT的静态输出剂量的相关性最强(r=0.883,P<0.01)。基本剂量测定模块的出口检测器平整度值对能量变化最敏感(r=0.902),其次是楔形阶梯静态模块的能量差异(r=0.897)和楔形阶梯螺旋模块的能量差异(r=0.852),灵敏度分别为2.3×10-4、3.1×10-4和5.7×10-4。结论:TQA有助于用户追踪HT输出剂量和能量变化,及早进行必要的机器维护或剂量校准。
【Abstract】 Objective To discuss the relationship between tomotherapy quality assurance(TQA) data trends and output of helical tomotherapy(HT). Methods The correlations between static output and output energy variation(D20/D10) were determined based on the retrospective analysis on the parameters and data trends of each module of TQA of HT in recent 3 years. Results The offset parameter of z axis in step-wedge static module had the best correlation with the static output of HT(r=0.883, P<0.01). The exit detector flatness in basic dosimetry module was the most sensitive to energy changes(r=0.902),followed by energy differences in step-wedge static module(r=0.897) and energy differences in step-wedge helical module(r=0.852), and their sensitivities were 2.3×10-4, 3.1×10-4 and 5.7×10-4, respectively. Conclusion TQA can help user to monitor the changes in the output and energy of HT, thereby carrying out necessary maintenance and dosimetric validation earlier.
