Abstract

Objective:To discuss application of large aperture 16 row spiral CT in radiotherapy simulation positioning. Methods: To apply CT simulation positioning with large aperture 16 row spiral CT for the breast tangential field by early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery and radical radiotherapy. Compare CT-simulation and X-ray conventional positioning technique and Compare large aperture 16 row spiral CT and single row spiral CT image. Results: The application of large aperture 16 row spiral CT avoided the error because of body limited. Large aperture 16 row spiral CT simulation position validation error is superior to X-ray positioning. Its image quality is better than that of single row spiral CT. Conclusion:The application of large aperture 16 row spiral CT make simulation positioning more accurate, planned and treatment more accurate, it can provide guarantee of accurate simulation positioning for accurate plan and treatment.
