摘要

目的 为患者量身定制的腔内/间质(IC/IS)近距离放射治疗(BT)应用器可提高宫颈癌患者的剂量一致性。目前这些定制涂抹器的配置规划方法依赖于手动规范或一小套(直)针。这项工作介绍并验证了一种两阶段方法,用于在 3D 打印的患者定制的 ARCHITECT 应用器中建立通道配置。 对于每位患者,患者定制的应用器形状是基于首次使用商用应用器进行的 BT 应用,以及与商用(日内瓦)宫内管和两个月环通道的集成连接器。首先,我们生成了一个庞大的候选通道集,这些通道可将针引导至目标区域的理想位置,并包含在涂抹器中。这些通道的中心线由贝塞尔曲线表示。对直线目标段和入口点之间的通道进行了优化和细化,以确保(动态)可行性。其次,使用几何覆盖优化来选择通道配置。这一工作流程被用于为之前使用 Venezia 治疗仪治疗过的 22 名患者建立适合患者的几何图形。治疗计划通过内部开发的 BiCycle 算法自动生成。对临床常用配置 TPclin 和患者定制配置 TParch 的计划进行了比较。所有 TParch 和 TPclin 计划均可接受,但患者定制的配置更能达到计划目标(115/132 对 100/132)。与 TPclin 计划相比,TParch 计划的中位 CTVIRD98 和膀胱 D2cm3 剂量明显提高(分别为 p< 0.001 和 p< 0.01),约有一半患者的剂量指数得到改善。治疗计划研究表明,所有计划都符合患者定制配置的计划限制,在某些情况下,与商用涂抹器配置相比,计划质量有所提高。

Automated planning of curved needle channels in 3D printed patient-tailored applicators for cervical cancer brachytherapy.

Purpose.Patient-tailored intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) brachytherapy (BT) applicators may increase dose conformity in cervical cancer patients. Current configuration planning methods in these custom applicators rely on manual specification or a small set of (straight) needles. This work introduces and validates a two-stage approach for establishing channel configurations in the 3D printed patient-tailored ARCHITECT applicator.Methods.For each patient, the patient-tailored applicator shape was based on the first BT application with a commercial applicator and integrated connectors to a commercial (Geneva) intrauterine tube and two lunar ring channels. First, a large candidate set was generated of channels that steer the needle to desired poses in the target region and are contained in the applicator. The channels' centrelines were represented by Bézier curves. Channels running between straight target segments and entry points were optimised and refined to ensure (dynamic) feasibility. Second, channel configurations were selected using geometric coverage optimisation. This workflow was applied to establish patient-tailored geometries for twenty-two patients previously treated using the Venezia applicator. Treatment plans were automatically generated using the in-house developed algorithm BiCycle. Plans for the clinically used configuration,TPclin, and patient-tailored configuration,TParch, were compared.Results.Channel configurations could be generated in clinically feasible time (median: 2651 s, range 1826-3812 s). AllTParchandTPclinplans were acceptable, but planning aims were more frequently attained with patient-tailored configurations (115/132 versus 100/132 instances). Median CTVIRD98and bladderD2cm3doses significantly improved (p<0.001 andp<0.01 respectively) inTParchplans in comparison withTPclinplans, and in approximately half of the patients dosimetric indices improved.Conclusion.Automated patient-tailored BT channel configuration planning for 3D printed applicators is clinically feasible. A treatment planning study showed that all plans met planning limits for the patient-tailored configurations, and in selected cases improved the plan quality in comparison with commercial applicator configurations.
