摘要

背景与目的:在临床放射治疗中,利用三维(3D)水箱进行精确的光束数据采集对光束调试和质量控制至关重要。本文介绍了一种利用MV图像和网络摄像头视频对系统进行定量质量控制的新方法。在“连续模式”和“步进模式”两种测量模式下,对电机驱动速度的稳定性和夹具的位置精度进行了评估。方法:使用TRUFIX安装系统(PTW Freiburg Inc., Germany)将钢球的中心固定在其顶部,确保与水箱水面对齐。为了评估与辐射等中心的偏差,获取MV图像并与数字重建x线照片(DRRs)进行比较。使用安装在驱动单元上的ET CT Body Marker (BRAINLAB Inc., USA),在不同的速度设置(慢速、中速和快速)下进行这些评估。利用网络摄像头进行图像采集,并使用定制的跟踪软件对行驶速度偏差和位置误差进行分析。结果:辐射等中心的平均误差为0.37±0.09 mm。随着电机驱动转速的增加,分析中观察到的设定转速与实际转速之间的差异也越来越大。在“连续模式”下,与显示值的偏差大于在“逐步模式”下观察到的偏差。结论:所提出的分析方法可以定量评价辐射等心偏差、油箱设置位置偏差以及指示驱动速度值及其稳定性。在较高的驱动速度下,“逐步模式”与指示值的偏差较小。

Quantitative quality control of 3D water tank using image analysis.

Background and objective: Accurate beam data acquisition using three-dimensional (3D) water tanks is essential for beam commissioning and quality control (QC) in clinical radiation therapy. This study introduces a novel method for quantitative QC of the system, utilizing MV images and webcam videos. The stability of the motor drive speed and the positional accuracy of the fixture were evaluated under two measurement modes: "continuous mode" and "step-by-step mode."

Methods: A TRUFIX mounting system (PTW Freiburg Inc., Germany) was used to attach the center of the steel ball to its top, ensuring alignment with the water surface of the tank. To assess deviations from the radiation isocenter, MV images were acquired and compared with digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs). These evaluations were performed at different speed settings (slow, medium, and fast) using ET CT Body Marker (BRAINLAB Inc., USA) mounted on the drive unit. A webcam was utilized to capture the images, and custom-developed tracking software was employed to analyze deviations in driving speed and positional errors.

Results: The mean error of the radiation isocenter was 0.37 ± 0.09 mm. As the motor drive speed increased, the discrepancy between the set speed and the actual speed observed in the analysis also became larger. In "continuous mode," the deviation from the displayed value was greater than that observed in "step-by-step mode."

Conclusion: It is demonstrated that the proposed analysis method can quantitatively evaluate radiation isocenter misalignment, tank setup position deviation, and both the indicated drive speed values and their stability. At higher drive speeds, the "step-by-step mode" showed smaller deviations from the indicated values.
