1 RTTs role in lung SABR Bart van Baaren Lineke van der Weide VU Medical Centre SBRT symposium VUMC 16 December 2017

2 Flow chart lung SABR Pre-treatment imaging Treatment planning On-line imaging Treatment delivery

3 Pre-imaging: 4D CT Respiratory motion causes artifacts during 3D CT Errors in position, shape and volume information for the target volume and critical structures Respiratory motion may significantly influence the accuracy and reproducibility of SABR 4D CT reduces the motion artifact and allows for accurate delineation of tumor and critical structures 4D-CT 3D-CT

4 4D CT: Retrospective gating Full breathing cycle Breathing Signal Inspiration Expiration X-ray on 1 e table position 2 de table position 3 e table position 4D CT sorting program 1e fase bin 2e fase bin 3e fase bin

5 4D CT

6 4D CT

7 4D CT

8 Average-IP / MIP Each voxel has a certain intensity (Hounsfield Unit) Intensity voxels in lung vary over respiratory cycle (10 bins) Reconstruction can be made from the 10 bins Ave-IP calculates average intensity Max-IP or MIP calculates maximum intensity

9 Average-IP / MIP Average Intensity Projection Maximum Intensity Projection

10 4D CT artifact

11 A bad example Artifacts due to variations in: Amplitude Frequency

12 4D CT protocol for lung SABR 4DCT scan of whole thorax during (uncoached) breathing Head first supine positioned on thorax support with arms up Strong irregular breathing Small" 4DCT (limited to the tumor region Central tumors a second Small" 4DCT with IV contrast Note : the "small" 4DCT series must have sufficient length to match well with the "big" 4D CT.
