Abstract:
Objective To compare the dosimetric and delivery efficiency between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans based on Halcyon and Trilogy accelerator.Methods Clinical data of 12 patients with cervical cancer receiving Trilogy platform-based IMRT were retrospectively analyzed.The target area and organ at risk were introduced into the Eclipse version 15.1 TPS.The Halcyon-based IMRT was re-designed.The dose coverage of target area and organs at risk,monitor unit (MU) efficiency,delivery time and segment area and the differences between the proximal and distal segment area were statistically compared between two IMRT plans.Results The Halcyon treatment platform could meet the clinical objectives.Dose distribution of the target area was similar to that of the Trilogy plan (P＞O.05).The volumes in the bladder and rectum receiving 30 Gy and the volumes in the left femoral head receiving 20 Gy of Halcyon plan and the mean dose (D) of bladder,rectum and left femoral head were significantly lower compared with those of the Trilogy plan (P=0.001-0.043).The MUs of the Halcyon plan was 2 316.7± 209.7,significantly higher than 1 692.5± 259.5 of the Trilogy plan (P=0.000).The delivery time significantly differed between the Halcyon [(3.01±0.28) min] and Trilogy [(12.38± 1.49) min] (P=0.000).The average segment area of Halcyon plan for proximal and distal MLC was (43.7±32.5) cm2 and (28.8±25.4) cm2,the average segment area of Trilogy plan was (25.7±16.8) cm2,the ratio of the proximal and distal segment area was 1.73±0.43,ranging from 0.71 to 6.28.Conclusions Halcyon treatment platform can meet the clinical requirements and reduce the dosage coverage of normal tissues with better delivery efficiency.The ratio of proximal and distal segment areas should be considered during the plan design.
