Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) dose optimization technique and image quality assessment scoring
Copyright © 2023 Copyright: © 2023 Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics..
INTRODUCTION: Linear accelerator (LINAC) embedded with kV source-imager system is capable to do image-guided radiotherapy. The only disadvantage of cone-beam computed tomography image acquisition during treatment is the extra radiation dose to the patient. The aim of this study is to optimize the CBCT imaging doses likely to be received by the patient undergoing radiotherapy without affecting image quality.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The imaging dose to the patient was estimated on CTDI phantoms. The effect of additional filters of different materials (copper, brass, aluminum of thickness 0.1 mm each) was evaluated to find the optimized dose imaging technique. For the pelvis, a single imaging protocol available on the machine was used, whereas for the head and neck region, two protocols, high-quality head and standard-dose head were used. The image quality was assessed on CATPHAN-504 phantom using Owl CATPHAN® QA online tool. A new term "Image Assessment score" (IAS) was introduced to evaluate the image quality.
RESULT: In the pelvis protocol, CBCT imaging doses with an additional 0.1-mm brass, copper, and aluminum filter were measured to be reduced by 7.1%, 4.7%, and 2.5%, respectively, whereas for high-quality head protocol, the dose reduction was 25.4% (with brass filter), 22% (with copper filter), and 3.1% (with aluminum filter). For the standard-dose head protocol, doses were reduced by 7.5%, 2.8%, and 2.1% with additional 0.1-mm brass copper and aluminum filters, respectively. Acceptable image quality was observed with all the filters.
CONCLUSION: Although the reconstructed images were found somewhat noisier, they did not affect the purpose of imaging, that is, treatment position verification. It was observed that these extra filters further reduce the imaging dose without much affecting the image quality.
