摘要
放射治療的目的,在於控制腫瘤病情、減少周邊正常組織的傷害、及降低副作用的發生,近年來,新發展的強度調控放射治療,利用調控光子射束來達到最佳的順形輻射劑量分佈。放射治療的劑量準確度要求必須在5%以內,才能達到有效治療及減輕副作用的產生。目前品質保證的過程多半是在病患接受治療前完成,只確保了治療系統的穩定性,並不能直接得知病患最終是否受到準確的治療。本研究計劃利用蒙地卡羅方法模擬穿透劑量,與病患實際治療時所量測到的穿透劑量比較,建立一IMRT病患劑量驗證系統。模擬結果證實了本研究在穿透劑量模擬計算的可行性。建立在本研究基礎上,可使繼起研究者在臨床假體測試、EPID劑量驗證,甚至病患劑量等研究上,有莫大的幫助,進而能發展出一套IMRT線上病患劑量驗證系統。
