  2. SRT for small lesions with large mobility:Problems of margin-based, static planning • large margins necessary! dose to large normal tissue volume ITV restricts tumor dose PTV • what geometry is to be used for dose calculation?

  3. SRT for small lesions with large mobility:Problems of margin-based, static planning exhale position inhale position tumor spends more time in upper part of PTV region (exhale) than in lower part (inhale) …large CTV-motion relative to static planning geometry …dose distribution changes with CTV-motion • Is it actually necessary to cover whole PTV region with full dose? gated treatment optimize actual dose-to-moving-CTV “Tissue-eye-view” static dose distribution, calculated on average CT …the actual “dynamic” dose distribution! • static planning

  4. 4D IMRT Planning… Our approach in the following: optimization of the expected dose in moving tissue (Tissue Eye View)

  5. The road to Tissue-Eye-View:Dose warping to a reference phase beamlet dose… calc. in different geometries

  6. The road to Tissue-Eye-View:Dose warping to a reference phase beamlet dose… calc. in different geometries warped to reference geometry deformable registration

  7. The road to Tissue-Eye-View:Probability density function (pdf) of breathing 0.5 0.4 amplitude [a.u.] 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 50 100 time [s] 0 0In 25In 50In 75In 75Ex 50Ex 25Ex 100Ex relative time spend in CT-bin => relative weights pdf statistical description of breathing motion! 100 amplitude 0 time [s]

  8. Tissue-Eye-View: expected dose-to-moving-tissue beamlet dose… calc. in different geometries warped to reference geometry optimization in tissue-eye-view! TISSUE EYE VIEW accumulated expected dose distribution in moving tissue, shown in reference geometry accumulated in reference geometry using breathing PDF

  9. 4D- vs. margin-based static planning: A test case • free-breathing PTV-plan: PTV = ITV of all 8 RCCT-phases • exhale-gating PTV-plan: PTV = ITV of 3 RCCT-phases around exhale • free-breathing 4D-plan: optimization of expected dose in ‘tissue-eye-view’ with explicit dose calculation in all 8 RCCT-phases Implemented using IMRT-software Hyperion: EUD-based, constrained optimization Monte-Carlo dose calculation (XVMC) 11 beams Prescription: • 55Gy EUD to target in 11fx • constraints to target (limited overdosage), lung and other unspecified tissue Comparison of 3 plans… Idealized assumption: perfect daily target-based setup, i.e. no setup-margin

  10. Results: Dose distributions (coronal view) lung sparing static dose static dose free-breathing PTV-plan exhale-gating PTV-plan free-breathing 4D-plan accumulated dose accumulated dose accumulated dose 52.2Gy 57.8Gy 46.8Gy 38.5Gy 27.5Gy 22.0Gy 16.5Gy 11.0Gy

  11. Results: Target DVHs (accumulated CTV doses) gating and 4D-plan with similar doses to moving CTV free-breathing PTV-plan: lowest and most inhomogeneous CTV-dose

  12. Results: DVHs of OARs (accumulated doses) constraints met similarly well for all plans right (ipsilateral) lung skin/unspecified left (contralateral) lung

  13. Results: EUDs & dosimetric parameters

  14. Results: EUDs & dosimetric parameters, performance • voxel-size: 3mm; beamlet-size: 4x2mm • stat. accuracy MC dose calculation: 3% (3.5•106 histories/segment) • dual-quadcore Intel Xeon @ 2.66GHz (8 CPU cores), 16GB memory

  15. Summary & Conclusions 4D-planning: optimization in Tissue-Eye-View! • explicit dose calculation in multiple geometries using Monte Carlo • deformable registration, allowing dose warping to reference geometry • optimization of expected dose: dose accumulation in reference geometry using Probability Density Function (pdf) of breathing • potential of dose escalation compared to free-breathing PTV-based planning • equal target coverage as gated-treatment, but reduced workload during treatment
