53 In the Beginning of SpaceOAR 60Gy 50% (39 for 78) Note: 4mm (CTV to PTV), and 7mm (PTV to Aperature)
54 Procedure 1. Immobilization: Blue Bag 2. CT Simulation / MR Imaging with 0.23T 3. Planning with Eclipse 4. Treatment with DS/US (OTP: 2 CGE / fx and 78CGE) 5. Follow-ups during RT: Verification with CT and MRI
55 Immobilization 1. Blue Bag 2. Rectum (a) Saline (100c) into Rectum and VisiCoil (since 2007) (b) Rectal Balloon and VisiCoil (since 2010) (c) SpaceOAR (no rectal balloon) and Gold Anchor (sine Feb 2016) DVH Low Risk with Balloon V70=7cc for Hypo-fractionation
56 Prostate Motions for PTV 1. Wireless Transponder (Calypso System) 2. Repeat CBCT (before and after photon treatment) 3. X-ray Imaging 4. Cine MRI Cine MR, and X-ray (PreRT and PostRT for 4 to 5 min)
57 Prostate PT: Minimizing PTV Margins A PTV margin was calculated to allow CTV coverage in 95% of treatments for 90% of patients (van Herk, IJROBP, 2000) Assuming setup error bounded within +/- 2 mm with daily orthogonal imaging and VisiCoil markers Assuming prostate intra-fraction motion of 2 mm in 5 min (Cine-MR study) PTV margin = 4 mm axial and R/L and 6 mm cranial-caudal How to identify the ~10% patients with larger intra-fraction prostate motion magnitude? 4/8/2016
58 Prostate Imaging Policy Room scheduling 1. During first 10 days of treatment, perform post-tx DIPS imaging 2. Inform treating physician if calculated post-tx correction values larger than 4 mm (< 1 out of 10 expected) 3. Record correction values 4. After first 10 days, perform weekly post-tx imaging 5. Re-plan if 2 out-of-tolerance intrafraction movements recorded. 4/8/2016 In-Room Patient Setup Motion Monitoring and control Completion of Treatment
59 Further Reduction Of Prostate PTV Margin Zeitlin et al, Int J Particle Therapy, 2015: Review of treatment images of 40 low-risk prostate patients treated from With rectal balloon: 2 mm lateral, 3 mm AP/PA; 3 mm Sup/Inf With rectal saline injection: 2 mm lateral; 4 mm AP/PA; 4 mm Sup/Inf Implementation of reduced margins for prostate PT in progress With Belly Compression (like MR Scan)? With CBCT? With on-board MRI (0.5T, future)? 4/8/2016
60 DIPS: AP and Lateral X-ray Rad-B (SAD = ~280cm) Rad-A (SAD = ~150cm)
61 Gold Markers in DIPS 0.48mm and 10mm
62 Differences of 3 Seeds between PreRT and Post RT in X-rays (in cm) (with Rectal Balloon and VisiCoil during ~4min) 1.6mm in 3D
63 Motions of Prostate from PreRT and PostRT (with Rectal Baloon and VisoCoil) Total Number of X-rays
64 Prostate Motions with DIPS before and after Tx (with Space OAR, and Gold Anchor, ~4min) Rectal Balloon and VisiCoil Increase by ~0.5mm in 3 coords!
65 Preliminary Conclusion Previous Data show that SpaceOAR reduce motions w/o rectal baloon??. Not enough data? If so, a minor compression can reduce motions?
66 Movie with SpaceOAR: with Sagittal Images
67 Movie with SpaceOAR: with axial images
68 Smearing Margin 1. Range Uncertainty : 1.5mm 2. Organ Motion : assume to be ~2mm (4 min) 3. Setup Uncertainty 4. CT SPR s uncertainty : ~3% All together, SM = 1.4cm We could reduce the SM (mainly item 2 and 3)

70 Compensator smearing II Margin for range uncertainty due to motion, deformation, setup errors 1.4cm Target Beam OAR Compensator Body surface Aperture Thanks to Dr. Stella Flampouri
71 Optimization Procedure Aperarture Range Compensator 1.4cm Gantry Selection Gantry Selection
72 DVH of Planning
73 Final Dose Distributions Note 1: Smearing Margin (SM = 1.4cm) Overshoot Note 2: How much we can reduce the SM?
74 Beam Delivery I SpaceOAR and VisiCoil Rectal Balloon and Gold Anchor
75 Beam Delivery II 4min procedure Beam Deliver
76 Differences of 3 Seeds between PreRT and Post RT in X-rays (in cm) (with Rectal Balloon and VisiCoil during ~4min) 1.6mm in 3D
77 CT and Verification MRI (T2) with 0.23T CT 2 hr after implant Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Note: less sensitive to rectal filling?
78 DVH: V70Gy of Rectum 2.3cc +/- 2.1cc
79 Why 5.3cc?
80 Verification 1. CT or MR images: 3 weeks 2. Image fusion 3. Run Verification Plans, and Get DVH Data
81 Rectum Changes: Example (due to gas buildup) Rectum at W1 R D=70CGE = 16.2% (max deviation) SpaceOAR 16% Rectum at Plan (R D=70CGE = 2.7%) DVH Constraints: R D=70CGE = 30%
82 Preliminary Conclusion 1. Learning curve to make SpaceOAR useful in RT 2. We found out that (a) SpaceOAR is reproducible (b) Less sensitive to Rectal Filling or Gas?! (c) Intra-Fraction Motions could be smaller (d) Immobilization during MRI is a must 3. Image Fusion is more accurate (a) More reliable fusion with Seed Matching (b) Smaller margin: intra or inter-fraction motion (c) Seed Migration is minimum (?) 4. Less Dose Perturbation during proton planning 5. More Rectum Saving Dose Escalation? 6. Hypo-frationation?
83 Questions 1. SpaceOAR can cause less motions from rectal motion? 2. A minor compression device can cause anatomical changes? 3. A minor compression device could reduce block (AP) margins? 4. We can reduce smearing margins? 5. We could inject more SpaceOAR to take care of SV? * more than 15cc? * We can include markers into SpaceOAR? * We need to remove Gas? 6. Hypo-fractionation?
