목 적: 직장 내 풍선삽입을 하는 전립선 암 환자의 3차원 입체조형방사선치료(3D CRT)와 세기조절치료에 대한 적절한 계획표적부피 마진을 구하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 환자는 반듯이 누운 자세에서 치료계획용 CT 촬영과 매 치료 전에 환자의 직장에 풍선이 삽입되었고 70 mL의 공기로 풍선을 팽창시켰다. Anterior-posterior (AP)와 측면에서의 전자식 조사문영상 이미지와 디지털 화재구성사진을 이용하여 치료간 환자 치료위치 및 풍선의 위치 변화를 분석하였다. 두 이미지를 정합하기 위하여 Visual $C^{++}$ 기반의 프로그램을 개발하여 사용하였다. 기존의 방법을 기반으로 풍선에 의한 선량 흐려짐 효과를 고려한 계획표적부피 마진을 구하는 방법 고안하였다. 결 과: 환자치료위치의 치료간 변화는 모든 방향에서 평균 1 mm 이내로 나타났다. 풍선의 치료간 변화는 left-right (LR) 방향에 비해 superior-inferior (SI)와 AP 방향으로 크게 나타났다. 풍선의 무작위오차를 포함시켜 새로 고안된 1차원 계획표적부피 마진 구하는 방법을 사용하여 마진을 구한 결과, 3D CRT의 경우에는 LR 방향으로 3.0 mm, SI 방향으로 8.2 mm, AP 방향으로 8.5 mm로 계산되었다. Intensity modulated radiation therapy의 경우, LR 방향으로 4.1 mm, SI 방향으로 7.9 mm, AP 방향으로 10.3 mm로 마진이 계산되었다. 결 론: 풍선의 무작위오차는 전립선 모양의 변형을 일으켜서 선량분포에 영향을 준다. 따라서, 새로 고안된 계획표적부피 마진을 구하는 방법에는 풍선에 의한 선량 흐려짐 효과가 고려되었다. 이 방법은 풍선의 무작위오차만 계산에 포함하기 때문에 풍선의 계통오차에 대한 보정을 전제로 한다.

Purpose: To determine the appropriate prostate planning target volume (PTV) margins for 3-dimensitional (3D) conformal radiotherapy (CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) patients treated with an endorectal balloon (ERB) under our institutional treatment condition. Materials and Methods: Patients were treated in the supine position. An ERB was inserted into the rectum with 70 cc air prior to planning a CT scan and then each treatment fraction. Electronic portal images (EPIs) and digital reconstructed radiographs (DRR) of planning CT images were used to evaluate inter-fractional patient's setup and ERB errors. To register both image sets, we developed an in-house program written in visual $C^{++}$. A new method to determine prostate PTV margins with an ERB was developed by using the common method. Results: The mean value of patient setup errors was within 1 mm in all directions. The ERB inter-fractional errors in the superior-inferior (SI) and anterior-posterior (AP) directions were larger than in the left-right (LR) direction. The calculated 1D symmetric PTV margins were 3.0 mm, 8.2 mm, and 8.5 mm for 3D CRT and 4.1 mm, 7.9 mm, and 10.3 mm for IMRT in LR, SI, and AP, respectively according to the new method including ERB random errors. Conclusion: The ERB random error contributes to the deformation of the prostate, which affects the original treatment planning. Thus, a new PTV margin method includes dose blurring effects of ERB. The correction of ERB systematic error is a prerequisite since the new method only accounts for ERB random error.

2. A schematic overview of mean, systematic, and random errors in the distribution of patient's setup errors.
In order to evaluate our institutional PTV margins for prostate cancer treatment witii an ERB, we first analyzed patient setup errors and daily ERB variations based on EPI and DRR images. All of cases for IMRT and 3D CRT with an ERB had a setup consistency within 3 mm.
Setup errors were divided into 3 categories; variations of bony landmark with respect to isocenter, variations of balloon with respect to inocenter, and variations of balloon with respect to bony landmark. The mean, systematic and random errors were calculated in all three directions (AP, left-right [LR], and superior-inferior [SI]).

19)). The calculated PTV margins of 3D CRT with an ERB were 3.0 mm, 8.2 mm, and 8.5 mm in LR, SI, and AP, respectively. The calculated PTV margins of IMRT with an ERB were 4.
The number of electronic portal images (EPIs) used for the analysis was 66 from 9 patients of 3D CRT with an ERB, and 450 from 16 patients of IMRT with an ERB. We generated DRR images of anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral views usmg each patiente CT images in radiation treatment plamiingsystems.
성능/효과
In conclusion, appropriate PTV margins should be carefully determined by reflecting a specific treatment condition of each instituion. The new PTV margin method for prostate patients with an ERB was developed in this study.
used. It was assumed that the minimum dose delivered to the target for 90% of the patients under the normaldistribution (Gaussian distribution) of errors is more than 95% of the nominal dose. The following equation was derived by van Herk et al, 19) for 3D symmetric marghr:
The assumption of his method was that the rectum has no inter-fractional motion during the course of treatments and the prostate only has a motion in its positioH, without the change of shape. However, in real treatments, the rectum also has a motion and the inter-fractional position of rectum can be changed.
We adopted the reported prostate motion data in equation 9 since the prostate motion itself doesn't much vary from institution to institution. The calculated PTV margins (i.e., result from this retrospective study) were at least 2 mm smaller than our current margins, except for the posterior margin in IMRT.
