简要总结
Aim of this study is the clinical evaluation of an image-guided adaptive radiotherapy concept. This involves the adaption of the radiotherapy treatment plan according to changes in tissues and variations in patients position and posture during a radiotherapy treatment course, based on repeat CT scans.
It is investigated, if dosimetric improvements can be achieved using this approach and if the method using the software-package "ReDeform" can be implemented in clinical Routine.
详细描述
Aim of this study is the clinical evaluation of an image-guided adaptive radiotherapy (ART) concept. This involves the adaption of the radiotherapy treatment plan according to changes in tissues and variations in patients position and posture during a radiotherapy treatment course, based on repeat CT scans.
It is prospectively investigated, if dosimetric improvements can be achieved using this approach and if the method using the software-package "ReDeform" can be implemented in clinical Routine. For that purpose 2 repeat CT scans are acquired during the radiotherapy course (week 3 and week 5 of radiotherapy). The Initial CT scan is "matched" to the follow-up CT-scan by means of deformable image registration.

结局指标
主要结局
Planning Target Volume (PTV) Coverage Parameter D98%
时间窗: week 5
Dose coverage of the planning target volume: Number of participants with a decrease in the planning target volume (PTV) coverage (D98%) above 5%. The Parameter "D98%" denotes the minimum dose to 98% of the volume according to the ICRU (International Commission on Radiation Units \& Measurements) Report No. 62. It is a widely accepted classification index for dose coverage. The "Planing Target Volume" is a volume, consisting of the clinical target volume and additional safety margins, that should receive a certain radiation dose.
次要结局
