description Tässä pro gradu -työssä tutkittiin potilaan kiertojen vaikutusta kaarimoduloidulla sädehoidolla hoidettavan vasemman puolen rintasyöpäpotilaan annosjakaumaan. Sädehoidon tarkoitus on tappaa syöpäsolut tervekudosta säästäen. VMAT-tekniikalla saadaan aikaan tarkasti hoitokohteen muotoinen annosjakauma, minkä takia potilaan asetteluun täytyy kiinnittää erityistä huomiota, jotta hoitokohde saa riittävän suuren säteilyannoksen ja hoitokohdetta ympäröivät elimet säästyvät optimaalisesti säteilyn aiheuttamilta haitoilta. Useat modernit sädehoitolaitteet on varustettu hoitopöydillä, jotka mahdollistavat potilaan kiertojen korjaamisen. Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten potilaan kierrot vaikuttavat annosjakaumaan, missä tilanteissa kiertoja kannattaisi kompensoida hoitopöydän kierroilla ja onko jokin potilasryhmä erityisen herkkä kiertojen vaikutuksille. Kiertojen merkitystä annosjakaumaan tutkittiin kiertämällä 20 rintasyöpäpotilaan annossuunnittelu-CT-kuvia ±3◦ asti kolmen toisiaan vastaan kohtisuoran akselin ympäri. Alkuperäisen sädehoitosuunnitelman tuottama annosjakauma lasketettiin kierretyille CT-kuvapakoille. Alkuperäisestä ja kierretystä annosjakaumasta määritettiin annostilavuusparametreja, jotka kuvaavat hoitokohteen ja sitä ympäröivien elimien annosjakaumaa. Parametreja analysoitiin tilastollisesta ja kliinisestä näkökulmasta. Tulosten perusteella jopa ±1◦ kierroilla voi olla tilastollisesti ja kliinisesti merkittäviä vaikutuksia suurimpaan annokseen yhdelle kuutiosenttimetrille sydämessä. Lisäksi ±2◦ kierrot voivat vaikuttaa negatiivisesti useiden annos-tilavuusparametrien arvoihin. Tämän takia ±1◦ ja sitä suurempien kiertojen korjaamista suositellaan. Mikään potilasryhmä ei ollut merkittävästi herkempi kiertojen vaikutuksille kuin muut. In this Master’s Thesis project, the effect of patient rotations on the dose distribution in Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) treatment of a left-sided breast cancer patient was studied. The objective of radiation therapy is to kill cancer cells while sparing the healthy tissue. With the VMAT technique, the acquired dose distribution is conformal to the treatment target. Thus, one has to pay special attention to the patient set-up to ensure that the target is covered by an adequate dose and the surrounding organs are spared optimally from the effects of radiation. Modern radiotherapy treatment machines can be equipped with robotic treatment couches which enable compensating rotational set-up errors. The aim of this thesis was to find out how rotations affect the planned dose distribution, in which cases the set-up errors should be corrected using the robotic couch and if one group of patients is more sensitive to rotations than the others. The impact of rotations on the dose distribution was studied by rotating the planning CT stacks of 20 breast cancer patients by angles up to ±3◦ around three perpendicular axes. The dose distribution produced by the original treatment plan was calculated for the rotated CT image stacks. Dose-volume parameters, which describe the dose distribution of the treatment target and surrounding organs, were determined for the original and rotated images and analysed both from statistical and clinical perspective. The results indicate that rotational set-up errors of ±1◦ can have statistically and clinically significant effects on the dose to the cubic centimeter of the heart receiving the largest dose. Additionally, rotations by ±2◦ can cause significant degradation on several dose-volume parameter values. Thus, it is recommended that rotations by ±1◦ or more are corrected. No patient group was found significantly more sensitive to the effect of rotations than the others.
