2 SBRT: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Few fractions (1-5) with high daily doses (12-25 Gy) Steep dose gradients High precision needed Traditionally an external stereotactic coordinate system is used for precise targeting but this tends to be replaced by IGRT
3 IGRT for liver SBRT Liver tumors are very difficult to image in-room [contrast required] Tumor position surrogates: Bony anatomy, diaphragm, implanted markers Implanted markers are more accurate than anatomical land marks [if marker is less than ~8 cm from tumor ( * ) ] ( * ) Seppenwoolde PMB 2011
4 Outline Liver SBRT planning and setup Monitoring intrafraction tumor motion Tumor motion characteristics Trajectory based patient setup Dose reconstruction Simulated Dynamic MLC tracking Real-time marker segmentation
5 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup 2-3 gold markers. 1 mm x 3 mm Implanted percutaneously guided by ultrasound Ideally close to and surrounding the tumor Often limited implantation directions
6 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup Stereotactic Body Frame (Elekta) If possible: Photo from Berbeco et al. IJORBP 2007 Abdominal compression to reduce breathing motion
7 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup CT1: Expiration breath-hold with contrast [optimal contrast timing window ~15 seconds] Good contrast timing - and a bit later
8 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup CT2: 4DCT c
9 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup 1. Match breath-hold CT and 4DCT mid-ventilation based on markers 2. Delineate GTV in 4DCT mid-vent assisted by contrast enhanced breath-hold CT 3. CTV = GTV 4. PTV = CTV + 5mm 5mm 10mm
10 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup Risk organs: Healthy liver (Liver CTV) Spinal cord (with 10 mm PRV margin) Esophagus (with 10 mm PRV margin) Stomach, duodenum, bowel, kidneys, heart
11 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup Most often conformal plan with IM segments IMRT or VMAT may be used for complicated cases CTV covered with 95% dose, PTV with 67% dose
12 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup Risk adapted dose prescription for metastasis: Use highest dose among Gy, Gy, 3 15Gy and Gy that fulfills constraints:
13 Liver SBRT planning and setup Marker implantation Fixation CT scanning Target definition Treatment planning Setup 1. Laser guided positioning of patient in Stereotactic Body Frame 2. Room laser guided positioning of Stereotactic Body Frame relative to linac isocenter 3. Cone-beam CT with match to planning CT (=midventilation 4DCT phase): a. Automatic match on bony anatomy b. Manual match on markers (max 10 mm shift)
14 Outline Liver SBRT planning and setup Monitoring intrafraction tumor motion Tumor motion characteristics Trajectory based patient setup Dose reconstruction Simulated Dynamic MLC tracking Real-time marker segmentation
15 Monitoring intrafraction liver tumor motion PhD project, Esben Worm, started June 2010 Aim: Detailed characterization of tumor motion in liver SBRT Method: Monitoring liver marker motion during the entire treatment delivery NB: Esben to visit U Sydney in April-May 2012
16 Monitoring intrafraction liver tumor motion Planning: 3 x treatment: 4DCT time Record external motion (RPM) + kv/mv images during the entire treatment RPM: CBCT1 (setup) CBCT2 (control) Field 1 MV+kV Field 2 MV+kV Field n MV+kV CBCT3 time
17 Intra-treatment imaging kv, 5 Hz RPM, 25 Hz MV, Hz
18 Example 1: Intra-treatment motion MV kv
19 Example 2: Motion in MV images DRR Mid-ventilation 7.5 Hz portal imaging Cranio-caudal geometrical error
20 Example 2: Motion in MV images Fraction 1 Fraction 2 Fraction 3 Note the large day-to-day variation in marker positions
21 Pre- and post-treatment imaging RPM CBCT: 1. Acquire ~650 projection images in ~1 minute during a full gantry rotation 2. Reconstruct 3D image from projection images
22 Examples: Liver CBCT scans: Motion artifacts Example 1: Diaphragm 15 mm CBCT CT Example 2: Gold marker (3 mm) 12 mm
23 Examples: Liver CBCT projections 1 CBCT projection (out of 629) Marker motion Marker motion

27 Estimate 3D target position from PDF f 3 f 2 Image 1 Gaussian PDF f 1 Image 3 Select most likely position along each ray line
28 Result: 3D trajectory 1 Image Image 3
29 Single-imager trajectory estimation Accurate: 3D RMS error < 1mm in 99.1% of cases for lung/abdomen and in 99.7% of cases for prostate Can be used in real-time with modest loss in accuracy as compared to retrospective ( Tracking) Poulsen et al: IJROBP 2008, PMB 2009
30 Example: Motion during CBCT acquisition External RPM signal External Internal Internal tumor motion (from CBCT projections)
31 Amending missing intra-treatment motion data Amend with single imager method when: kv images are missing [not recorded, marker not segmentable due to MV scatter] MV images are missing [not recorded, marker outside field, IMRT, VMAT] Amend with RPM signal when: Both MV and kv are momentarily missing [less than one breathing cycle at a time for MV] [only a few breathing cycles for kv]
32 Monitoring intrafraction liver tumor motion Planning: 3 x treatment: 4DCT time Synchronized 1D external abdominal motion and 3D internal tumor surrogate motion during the entire treatment RPM: CBCT1 (setup) CBCT2 (control) Field 1 MV+kV Field 2 MV+kV Field n MV+kV CBCT3 time

35 Status and perspectives of liver motion study 15 patients recruited Allows addressing a wide range of questions about: Tumor motion characteristics (magnitude, directionality, stability, predictability, correlation with 4DCT, correlation with RPM, etc, on all relevant time scales) Use of adaptive margins, gating & tracking based on limited information (e.g kv alone, RPM+kV...) Delivered tumor dose distribution (in actual treatment, in simulated gating or tracking treatment, etc.)

58 Simulated MV based DMLC tracking for liver SBRT Background Detailed knowledge of prototype DMLC tracking system (latencies, prediction errors, refitting of MLC) Detailed measurements of MLC response to leaf motion requests Examples of leaf adaptation dynamics measured on millisecond time scale
59 Simulated MV based DMLC tracking for liver SBRT Simulate MLC motion by modeling the effects of MV tracking latency (290 ms) Prediction for latency compensation Refitting of leaves to the estimated target position Re-adjustment of leaves to the refitted positions
60 Simulated MV based DMLC tracking for liver SBRT Assume correct real-time marker segmentation in all MV images 2D DMLC tracking Prediction starts after 8 seconds treatment Assume marker visibility in all MV images of main fields No tracking for IM segments Similar to pig tracking experiment, Poulsen IJROBP 2011
61 Results example: Patient #2/5: MV images MV. Pat02. Fx1. Field1 Beam s eye view error Green: Gold Marker Red: CTV
62 Results example: Patient #2/5: MV images MV BEV error for all fields at fraction 1 Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Field 4 Field 5 Mean CC error: -4.1 mm
63 Results example: Patient #2/5: Tracking Simulation MV. Pat02. Fx1. Field1 MLC motion in simulated DMLC tracking treatment guided by these MV images The residual errors with tracking tend to be random Green: Gold Marker Red: CTV

67 Reconstructed dose distributions Dosewash: >95% dose Red = CTV Patient 2 Fraction 1
68 Reconstructed dose distribution DVH for CTV Fraction 1 Delivered CTV dose at first fraction: D 95 = 7%
69 Reconstructed dose distribution DVH for CTV Fractions 1-3 Delivered CTV dose at all three fractions: D 95 = 7%, D 95 = 5.6%, D 95 = 2.5% Tracking would have restored the planned CTV dose
70 Results: Minimum dose to 95% of the CTV Reduction in D 95 (%-point) As treated Simulated tracking Mean Maximum Mean Maximum
71 Results: Minimum dose to 95% of the CTV? Reduction in D 95 (%-point) As treated Simulated tracking Mean Maximum Mean Maximum
72 Increased D 95 with motion?? Planned (static) Treated (w/motion) Color dose wash: 97.3% ( D 95 ) Motion blurring increases V 97.3%
73 D 95 correlates with mean geometrical error p <
74 D 95 correlates with mean geometrical error p <
75 Conclusion for DMLC tracking simulations Tumor motion can deteriorate the target dose in liver SBRT even with daily image-guided localization DMLC tracking can restore the planned dose DMLC tracking made no difference for 3 out of 5 investigated treatment courses The tracking would be a safety net for the outliers and would not harm the inliers (no imaging dose).
76 DMLC tracking simulations: Possible usage Dosimetry evaluation Dosimetric gain of tracking Tracking QA: Test robustness of a given DMLC plan against a wide range of tumor motions Development of new tracking strategies MRI, multiple targets, deformations,.
