Objective:To propose a machine learning-based markerless beam′s eye view (BEV) tumor tracking algorithm that can be applied to low-quality megavolt (MV) images with multileaf collimator (MLC)-induced occlusion and non-rigid deformation.Methods:This study processed the registration of MV images using the window template matching method and end-to-end unsupervised network Voxelmorph and verified the accuracy of the tumor tracking algorithm using dynamic chest models. Phantom QA plans were executed after the treatment offset was manually set on the accelerator, and 682 electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images obtained during the treatment were collected as fixed images. Moreover, the digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) images corresponding to the portal angles in the planning system were collected as floating images for the study of target volume tracking. In addition, 533 pairs of EPID and DRR images of 21 lung tumor patients treated with radiotherapy were collected to conduct the study of tumor tracking and provide quantitative result of changes in tumor locations during the treatment. Image similarity was used for third-party validation of the algorithm.Results:The algorithm could process images with different degrees (10%-80%) of data missing and performed well in non-rigid registration of images with data missing. As shown by the phantom verification, 86.8% and 80% of the tracking errors were less than 3 mm and less than 2 mm, respectively, and the normalized mutual information (NMI) varied from 1.18 ± 0.02 to 1.20 ± 0.02 after registration ( t = -6.78, P = 0.001). The tumor motion of the clinical cases was dominated by translation, with an average displacement of 3.78 mm and a maximum displacement of 7.46 mm. The registration result of the cases showed the presence of non-rigid deformations, and the corresponding NMI varied from 1.21 ± 0.03 before registration to 1.22 ± 0.03 after registration ( t = -2.91, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The tumor tracking algorithm proposed in this study has reliable tracking accuracy and high robustness and can be used for non-invasive and real-time tumor tracking requiring no additional equipment and radiation dose.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of predicting lung cancer target position by online optical surface motion monitoring.Methods:CT images obtained in different ways of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plans from 16 lung cancer cases were selected for experimental simulation. The planned CT and the original target position were taken as the reference, and the 10 phases of CT in four dimension CT and each cone beam (CBCT) were taken as the floating objects, on which the floating target location was delineated. The binocular visual surface imaging method was used to obtain point cloud data of reference and floating image body surface, while the point cloud feature information was extracted for comparison. Based on the random forest algorithm, the feature information difference and the corresponding target area position difference were fitted, and an online prediction model of the target area position was constructed.Results:The model had a high prediction success rate for the target position. The variance explainded and root mean squared error ( RMSE) of left-right, superior-inferior, anterior-posterior directions were 99.76%, 99.25%, 99.58%, and 0.0447 mm, 0.0837 mm, 0.0616 mm, respectively. Conclusion:The online monitoring of lung SBRT target position proposed in this study is feasible, which can provide reference for online monitoring and verification of target position and dose evaluation in clinical radiotherapy.

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(19):1957-1962
The correspondence between the five zang organs and the five phases exhibited variations in the previous and the current literature, which is related to the understanding and interpretation of the historical construction of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and is an important issue that has been debated for a long time in the history of academia but has not been resolved. Through combing and analyzing the relevant literature handed down during the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, which includes Master LYU's Spring and Autumn Annals (《吕氏春秋》), The Book of Rites: Monthly Ordinances (《月令》), Huainanzi (《淮南子》), Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of BIAN Que and CANG Gong (《史记·扁鹊仓公列传》), The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), as well as excavated literature like the Warring States bamboo slips Tang Zai Chi Men (《汤在啻门》) collected by Tsinghua University, Taichan Shu (《胎产书》) unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs, Tianhui Medical Manuscripts (《天回医简》) unearthed from the Han Dynasty Tombs of Lao Guan Mountain, Chengdu, this paper finds that the current five phases are newly proposed by previous medical practitioners on the basis of the objective understanding of the physiology and pathology of the five zang organs, which is a unique contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the traditional Chinese culture. The lacquered acupuncture figurine unearthed from the Han Dynasty Tombs of Lao Guan Mountain, Tianhui Town, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is engraved on its back with the inscriptions of "heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and kidneys", which refer to the back-Shu points of the five zang organs, and the order follows the sequence of “fire - metal - wood - earth - water”, which is the order of the five phases being restricted. It is believed that this is a reflection of the idea of “heart is the head of the five organs” in the early medical scriptures, which can be used as a basis for judging the chronological order of the relevant chapters of the modern version of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor. This order is also seen in the Tianhui Medical Manuscripts unearthed from the same tombs as the acupuncture figurine and is preserved in many chapters of the modern version of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor.
