19 AAPM TG 180 Outline Dose resulting from image guidance procedures Dose calculation algorithms Kilovoltage imaging beam dosimetry Accounting for imaging dose Recommendations 19
20 Dose Calculation Algorithms Monte Carlo methods: Widely used to characterize imaging beams, as well as calculating dose to phantom and patients Ding et al. Med. Phys. 35: (2008) Spezi et al. Med. Phys. 36: (2009)
21 Dose Calculation Algorithms Model based methods: Model based dose calculation algorithms provide accurate dose calculations at MV, but not kv, range They have successfully been used for MV CBCT imaging dose calculations Dose distributions resulting from an MV-CBCT localization procedure of a prostate cancer patient using a 15 MU imaging protocol with a 6 MV beam. (Miften et al. 2007)
22 Dose Calculation Algorithms Model based methods: It is possible to use model based dose calculation algorithms to perform dose calculations for kv range beams with inherent inaccuracies in bony structures Commercially available model based algorithms underestimate dose to bone by up to 300% when used for kv beams due to photoelectric effect which is not accounted for by them A proposed algorithm, Medium Dependent Correction, has the potential to calculate dose at kv range but is not available commercially
23 Dose Calculation Algorithms Model based methods: Varian OBI Elekta XVI Alaei et al., Med. Phys. 37: (2010) Alaei and Spezi, J. Appl. Clin. Med. Phys. 13, (2012) *Bone dose not accurate 23
24 AAPM TG 180 Outline Dose resulting from image guidance procedures Dose calculation algorithms Kilovoltage imaging beam dosimetry Accounting for imaging dose Recommendations 24
25 Kilovoltage Imaging Beam Dosimetry kv imaging beam cannot be calculated using TPS at the moment If that becomes possible, it requires: Beam data collection (PDDs, profiles, output factors) Not straightforward Difficulties include low dose rate and dependence on the phantom media Possible to use MC data validated by measurements Beam modeling/commissioning
26 Kilovoltage Imaging Beam Dosimetry In vivo dosimetry If patient specific imaging dose verification is needed, commonly used dosimeters can be used Dosimeters should be calibrated for the beam energy used Diodes with buildup are not suitable
27 AAPM TG 180 Outline Dose resulting from image guidance procedures Dose calculation algorithms Kilovoltage imaging beam dosimetry Accounting for imaging dose Recommendations 27
28 Accounting for Imaging Dose Patient specific calculations: Straightforward for megavoltage imaging using TPS Only possible using Monte Carlo for kilovoltage imaging
29 Accounting for Imaging Dose Non patient specific estimations: Dependence of imaging dose on patient anatomy is small in most cases, hence dose estimates could be provided in the form of organ dose look up tables Several tables provided in TG 180 They can be scaled with mas used for imaging
30 AAPM TG 180 Outline Dose resulting from image guidance procedures Dose calculation algorithms Kilovoltage imaging beam dosimetry Accounting for imaging dose Recommendations 30
31 Recommendations (1) General Recommendations: Create local imaging protocols with image modality, techniques, and frequency that are suitable for the clinical imaging intent Develop protocols that are specific for pediatric patients Communicate typical imaging doses associated with the imaging procedures used to the radiation oncologists
32 Recommendations (2) Imaging dose output and consistency checks: The anticipated imaging dose for each image acquisition procedure with specified protocol parameters should be measured in air or in phantom according to the AAPM dosimetry protocols Consistency checks should be performed yearly and after each system upgrade If patient specific image dose verification is desired for a particular patient, in vivo patient dose measurements should be performed with suitable detectors
33 Recommendations (3) Accounting for imaging dose to RT patients: It is recommended that imaging dose be considered as part of the total dose at the treatment planning stage if the dose from repeated imaging procedures is expected to exceed 5% of prescribed therapeutic target dose Why 5%? Clinical relevance, accuracy of dose calculation and delivery, organ dose tolerances, and feasibility in clinical practice
34 Dose from different imaging devices/techniques 2D imaging MV portal imaging kv digital radiography Room mounted kv imaging systems 3D imaging Cone Beam CT MV CBCT kv CBCT MV CT Imaging dose < 5% threshold, unless there are a large number of images no need to account for Imaging dose may be > 5% threshold, depending on protocol may need to account for 34
35 Recommendations (4) Available techniques to reduce imaging dose to patients: For MV portal images, minimize the imaging field size without removing reference structures needed for patient alignment For Tomotherapy units, select MVCT scan pitch parameters that balance imaging dose with clinical need For MV CBCT, select a patient specific MV imaging protocol and restrict the imaging field of view
36 Recommendations (5) Available techniques to reduce imaging dose to patients (continued): Consider the type of imaging needs (2D vs. 3D). Choose 2D if two planar orthogonal kv images are sufficient for the task The kv CBCT scan protocols that use a partial rotation provide the opportunity of selectively avoiding irradiation of superficial organs Optimize the kv beam entry and exit direction for orthogonal planar images to reduce organ doses Consider the use of beam filters when acquiring planar kv images
37 Question 1 Dose from CBCT imaging: a) Is negligible and can be ignored b) Must be accounted for all patients c) Varies widely and depends on the imaging technique and modality used d) Could be as high as 15 cgy for a single image acquisition 37
