Treatment Planning Methods for Dose Painting by Numbers Treatment in Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Purpose
Dose painting radiation therapy delivers a nonuniform dose to tumors to account for heterogeneous radiosensitivity. With recent and ongoing development of Gamma Knife machines making large-volume brain tumor treatments more practical, it is increasingly feasible to deliver dose painting treatments. The increased prescription complexity means automated treatment planning is greatly beneficial, and the impact of dose painting on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) plan quality has not yet been studied. This research investigates the plan quality achievable for Gamma Knife SRS dose painting treatments when using optimization techniques and automated isocenter placement in treatment planning.
Methods and Materials
Dose painting prescription functions with varying parameters were applied to convert voxel image intensities to prescriptions for 10 sample cases. To study achievable plan quality and optimization, clinically placed isocenters were used with each dose painting prescription and optimized using a semi-infinite linear programming formulation. To study automated isocenter placement, a grassfire sphere-packing algorithm and a clinically available Leksell gamma plan isocenter fill algorithm were used. Plan quality for each optimized treatment plan was measured with dose painting SRS metrics.
Results
Optimization can be used to find high quality dose painting plans, and plan quality is affected by the dose painting prescription method. Polynomial function prescriptions show more achievable plan quality than sigmoid function prescriptions even with high mean dose boost. Automated isocenter placement is shown as a feasible method for dose painting SRS treatment, and increasing the number of isocenters improves plan quality. The computational solve time for optimization is within 5 minutes in most cases, which is suitable for clinical planning.
Conclusions
The impact of dose painting prescription method on achievable plan quality is quantified in this study. Optimization and automated isocenter placement are shown as possible treatment planning methods to obtain high quality plans.
