Abstract

In 1990, Victoria Hospital in London, Ontario undertook a review of its Central Portering Department. The department's name was changed to Distribution Services and its need for more efficient servicing of customers led to the search for a computer system to replace the manual dispatch operation. After failing to find an existing system, the hospital contracted to develop its own system, called Vic Tracker. The system categorizes and prioritizes requests and produces various activity reports. Response time has improved 50% on average, and improved efficiency and a pre-booking feature has resulted in a decrease of approximately 100 calls per day.

Four-dimensional treatment planning and fluoroscopic real-time tumor tracking radiotherapy for moving tumor.

PURPOSE: To achieve precise three-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy for mobile tumors, a new radiotherapy system and its treatment planning system were developed and used for clinical practice. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We developed a linear accelerator synchronized with a fluoroscopic real-time tumor tracking system by which 3D coordinates of a 2.0-mm gold marker in the tumor can be determined every 0.03 second. The 3D relationships between the marker and the tumor at different respiratory phases are evaluated using CT image at each respiratory phase, whereby the optimum phase can be selected to synchronize with irradiation (4D treatment planning). The linac is triggered to irradiate the tumor only when the marker is located within the region of the planned coordinates relative to the isocenter. RESULTS: The coordinates of the marker were detected with an accuracy of +/- 1 mm during radiotherapy in the phantom experiment. The time delay between recognition of the marker position and the start or stop of megavoltage X-ray irradiation was 0.03 second. Fourteen patients with various tumors were treated by conformal radiotherapy with a "tight" planning target volume (PTV) margin. They were surviving without relapse or complications with a median follow-up of 6 months. CONCLUSION: Fluoroscopic real-time tumor tracking radiotherapy following 4D treatment planning was developed and shown to be feasible to improve the accuracy of the radiotherapy for mobile tumors.
