GATE Araç Seti Kullanılarak Hasta Akciğer Hacmi Değişimlerinin Y-90 TedavisindeAbsorbe Akciğer Dozları Üzerindeki Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Y-90 tedavisinde hedef organ ve tümörün aldığı doz değerlerinin yanı sıra kritik organların aldığı doz değerleri de tedavi planlama sürecini önemli ölçüde etkilemekte ve sonuçta tedavide kullanılacak aktivite miktarını belirlemektedir. Bu amaçla, Y-90 tedavisinde akciğer toksisitesi riskini değerlendirmek için karaciğerde aynı aktivite değerleri için küçükten büyüğe değişen akciğer hacimleri içeren 10 farklı fantom tasarlanmıştır. GATE araç seti kullanılarak, 10 mCi aktivite içeren 10 mm çapında bir tümör hacmi karaciğer geometrisi içine yerleştirilmiş ve sağ akciğerde 3.103E+06 ila 4.727E+06 mm³ ve sol akciğerde 2.021E+06 ila 3.080E+06 mm³ arasında değişen akciğer hacimlerinde soğurulan doz değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Absorbe edilen doz değerleri sol akciğerde maksimum 3,046E-071,607E-08 Gy/s, minimum 1,868E-071,177E-08 Gy/s, sağ akciğerde maksimum 8,772E-086,905E-09 Gy/s, minimum 5,164E-084,963E-09 Gy/s ve total akciğerde maksimum 3,923E-071,14852E-08 Gy/s, minimum 2,384E-078,36556E-09 Gy/s olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, akciğer hacmindeki artışla birlikte akciğerde absorbe edilen doz değerinin arttığını gösterebilir. Literatürdeki mevcut çalışmalarla bir karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.

Assessing the Impact of Patient Lung Volume Variations on Absorbed Lung Doses at Y-90 Therapy Using GATE Toolkit

Abstract

In Y-90 treatment, the dose values received by the target organ and tumour, as well as the dose values received by critical organs, have a significant impact on the treatment planning process and ultimately determine the amount of activity to be used in the treatment. To this end, 10 different phantoms containing lung volumes ranging from small to large for the same activity values in the liver have been designed to evaluate the risk of lung toxicity in Y-90 treatment. Utilizing the GATE toolkit, a 10 mm diameter tumour volume containing 10 mCi activity has been positioned within the liver geometry, and the absorbed dose values have been calculated in lung volumes ranging from 3,103E+06 to 4,727E+06 mm³ in the right lung and from 2,021E+06 to 3,080E+06 mm³ in the left lung. Absorbed dose values have been calculated as maximum 3,046E-071,607E-08 Gy/s, minimum 1,868E-071,177E-08 Gy/s in left lung, maximum 8,772E-086,905E-09 Gy/s, minimum 5,164E-084,963E-09 Gy/s in right lung and maximum 3,923E-071,14852E-08 Gy/s , minimum 2,384E-078,36556E-09 Gy/s in total lung. The results of this study may indicate that the absorbed dose value in the lung increases with an increase in lung volume. A comparison has been made with existing studies in the literature.
