| Abstract:: |
| Objective To explore the relationship of X-ray exposure parameters and false-node rate during image-guidance treatment with CyberKnife spine tracking. Methods Using spine tracking planning on a chest phantom, several combinations of X-ray exposure parameters were used to locate. The false-node ratio and the surface absorbed dose were investigated and the radiation dose was optimized. Results The false-node ratio and surface absorbed radiation dose decreased when the X-ray exposure parameters increased until they saturated. In the range of ≤5.0% false-node rate, the surface absorbed radiation dose was 0.11, 0.26 mGy, and 0.31-0.46 mGy, when the false-node rate was 2.77%,1.07% and 1.0%, respectively. Conclusions In image-guided treatment of CyberKnife, the radiation dose would be optimized,and the patient's radiation dose would be reduced greatly, which is important to protect the patients. |
