Development of Real-time Image-guided Radiotherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal is to achieve the maximal radiotherapy tumor dose while sparing the health tissue and critical structures. On-board cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans are routinely acquired prior to dose delivery and matched with simulation CT at the planned treatment positions. Thus, setup or motion errors can be detected and corrected. However, CBCT is not available for situations with gantry collisions such as WBI and TSEB. More importantly, CBCT cannot reveal any irregular respiration or body movement during beam-on time. Thus, it is essential to develop a real-time image system that can detect organ/body motion during beam-on time, and correlate simulation-planning images with prior treatment CBCT images.In this proposed clinical trial, we will cooperate with a 3D camera company (Xigen LLC) to develop novel 4D video imaging techniques and validate the feasibility and accuracy of 4D video image guidance in correlation with 4D CT/CBCT useful for advanced IGRT.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Develop real-time 4D video imaging guidance with combination use of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) useful for daily setup and target motion tracking in advanced image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). [12 years]
Real time 4-D video imaging in combination with CBCT to detect appropriate delivery of radiotherapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To correlate real-time 4D surface images with the internal structures shown in daily XVI volumetric images [12 years]
Align 4D surface images with internal structures
Other Outcome Measures
- To synchronize the 4D CBCT with real-time stereovisions that would allow us to track any irregular respiration motion useful for gated or target tracked radiotherapy [12 years]
Synchronization of 4D CBCT with real time stereovision
- To validate accuracy and precision of the patient position in special procedures such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), total skin electron beam therapy (TSEB), IMRT of H&N cancer, and whole-breast irradiation (WBI) under breast holding [12 years]
Validation
- To determine delivery dose distribution by correlating real-time surface images with the planning volumetric images and dose distribution for radiotherapy [12 years]
Determine delivery dose distribution at the site or radiotherapy
