粒子放疗束流性能多功能快速验证软件系统

A Software System for Versatile Rapid Verification of Beam Performance in Particle Therapy

  • 摘要: 粒子治疗是先进的放射治疗手段,而放射治疗质量保证(Quality Assurance, QA)则是保障粒子治疗安全和效率的重要技术环节。粒子放疗束流性能QA横向剖面上主要关注点在于辐照场均匀性、束斑位置、束斑大小等参数,纵向上主要关注能量射程关系和剂量分布等参数。目前常用的测量方法只能适用单个项目测量或只能离线测量分析,在效率和实时性上都存在局限性。针对粒子放射治疗中束流性能验证技术,面向平面荧光探测方法,基于C++编程语言,采用Qt5界面开发框架和计算机视觉库OpenCV开发了一套兼顾横向束流参数和纵向射程(能量)验证的粒子束多功能质量验证分析软件系统,并利用武威重离子医院碳离子治疗系统束流性能原始数据完成了软件算法测试和功能验证。本系统用于集成化的荧光探测系统,可实现束流性能的模块化分析,拓展了平面荧光测量技术的使用范畴,有助于提高粒子放射治疗中束流性能的验证效率。

     

    Abstract: Particle therapy is an advanced radiotherapy modality and quality assurance(QA) is an important technical stage linked to the safety and efficacy of particle therapy. For the QA of beam performance in particle therapy, irradiation field uniformity, size and position of the beam spot, and so on are concerned in the lateral direction while the relation between energy and range, dose distribution, and so on in the longitudinal direction. At present, the methods usually used in QA measurements for particle therapy are applied in a manner of single item or off-line analysis, thereby leading to low efficiency and poor real-time performance. To aid the technique of beam performance verification in particle therapy, a software system dedicated to the method of planar fluorecence detection was developed, where C++ programming language, the interface development framework Qt5 and the computer vision library OpenCV were adopted. Lateral particle beam parameter and longitudinal range (energy) verification could be conducted with the software system, and the raw data of carbon-ion beam performance obtained in the Heavy Ion Medical Machine(HIMM) in Wuwei were employed to conduct the testing of software algorithms and functions. The successful testing demonstrated that the software system could be used in integrated fluorecence detection systems and was able to realize modular analyses of particle beam performance. Thus, the versatile software system developed in this work expands the use scope of the planar fluorecence detection technique and improves the verification efficiency of beam therapeutic performance in particle therapy significantly.
