A phantom-based analysis for tracking intra-fraction pancreatic tumor motion by ultrasound imaging during radiation therapy. | LitMetric

Purpose: In this study, we aim to further evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound tracking for intra-fraction pancreatic tumor motion during radiotherapy by a phantom-based study.

Methods: Twelve patients with pancreatic cancer who were treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy were enrolled in this study. The displacement points of the respiratory cycle were acquired from 4DCT and transferred to a motion platform to mimic realistic breathing movements in our phantom study. An ultrasound abdominal phantom was placed and fixed in the motion platform. The ground truth of phantom movement was recorded by tracking an optical tracker attached to this phantom. One tumor inside the phantom was the tracking target. In the evaluation of the results, the monitoring results from the ultrasound system were compared with the phantom motion results from the infrared camera. Differences between infrared monitoring motion and ultrasound tracking motion were analyzed by calculating the root-mean-square error.

Results: The 82.2% ultrasound tracking motion was within a 0.5 mm difference value between ultrasound tracking displacement and infrared monitoring motion. 0.7% ultrasound tracking failed to track accurately (a difference value > 2.5 mm). These differences between ultrasound tracking motion and infrared monitored motion do not correlate with respiratory displacements, respiratory velocity, or respiratory acceleration by linear regression analysis.

Conclusions: The highly accurate monitoring results of this phantom study prove that the ultrasound tracking system may be a potential method for real-time monitoring targets, allowing more accurate delivery of radiation doses.
