Dosimetric comparison of four-dimensional computed tomography based internal target volume against variations in respiratory motion during treatment between volumetric modulated arc therapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy.
This study focused on the dosimetric impact of variations in respiratory motion during lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Dosimetric comparisons between volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) were performed using four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT)-based internal target volumes (ITV). We created retrospective plans for ten patients with lung cancer who underwent SBRT using 3DCRT and VMAT techniques. A Delta4 Phantom + (ScandiDos, Uppsala, Sweden) was used to evaluate the dosimetric robustness of 4DCT-based ITV against variations in respiratory motion during treatment. We analyzed respiratory motion during treatment. Dose-volume histogram parameters were evaluated for the 95% dose (D95%) to the planning target volume (PTV) contoured on CT images obtained under free breathing. The correlations between patient respiratory parameters and dosimetric errors were also evaluated. In the phantom study, the average PTV D95% dose differences for all fractions were - 2.9 ± 4.4% (- 16.0 - 1.2%) and - 2.0 ± 2.8% (- 11.2 - 0.7%) for 3DCRT and VMAT, respectively. The average dose difference was < 3% for both 3DCRT and VMAT; however, in 5 out of 42 fractions in 3DCRT, the difference in PTV D95% was > 10%. Dosimetric errors were correlated with respiratory amplitude and velocity, and differences in respiratory amplitude between 4DCT and treatment days were the main factors causing dosimetric errors. The overall average dose error of the PTV D95% was small; however, both 3DCRT and VMAT cases exceeding 10% error were observed. Larger errors occurred with amplitude variation or baseline drift, indicating limited robustness of 4DCT-based ITV.
