MRI provides greater soft-tissue contrast than conventional X-ray techniques, which enables more precise radiotherapy with on-couch adaptive treatment planning and direct tracking of moving tumors. The integration of MRI into a proton beam irradiation system (PBS) is still in the research stage. However, this could be beneficial as proton therapy is more sensitive to anatomical changes and organ motion. In this simulation study, we considered the integration of PBS into the 0.3-T superconducting open MRI system. Our proposed design involves proton beams traversing a hole at the center of the iron yoke, which allows for a reduced fringe field in the irradiation nozzle while maintaining a large proton scan field of the current PBS. The shape of the bipolar MRI magnets was derived to achieve a large MRI field-of-view. To monitor the beam position and size accurately while maintaining a small beam size, the beam monitor installation was redesigned from the current system. The feasibility of this system was then demonstrated by the treatment plan quality, which showed that the magnetic field did not deteriorate the plan quality from that without the magnetic field for both a rectangular target and a prostate case.

Intense mucositis is sometimes induced when irradiating the oral cavity with a dental metal crown (DMC). However, the underlying mechanisms of such inducing radiosensitization by DMC remain uncertain. This study explored the radiosensitizing mechanisms around DMCs in an interdisciplinary approach with cell experiments and Monte Carlo simulation with the PHITS code. Clonogenic survival and nuclear 53BP1 foci of a cell line derived from cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) were measured post-irradiation with therapeutic X-rays near high-Z materials such as Pb or Au plates, and the experimental sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) was obtained. Meanwhile, the dose enhancement ratio (DER) and relative biological effectiveness for DNA damage yields were calculated using the PHITS code, by considering the corresponding experimental condition. The experiments show the experimental SER values for cell survival and 53BP1 foci near metals are 1.2-1.4, which agrees well with the calculated DER values. These suggest that the radiosensitizing effects near metal are predominantly attributed to the dose increase. In addition, as a preclinical evaluation, the spatial distributions of DER near DMC are calculated using Computed Tomography Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (CT-DICOM) data and a simple tooth model. As a result, the DER values evaluated using the CT-DICOM data were lower than those from a simple tooth model. These findings highlight the challenge of evaluating radiosensitizing effects near DMCs using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images due to volume-averaging effects and emphasize the need for a high-resolution (<1 mm) dose assessment method unaffected by these effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":16922,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radiation Research","volume":" ","pages":"628-639"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11420842/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142036126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
