AbstractAbstract
[en] At the time of the pelvis cancer radiation treatment using the belly board, set-up error is large because of a prone position. In order to improve the reproducibility, we made Vac-lock type belly board. In this study, we attempt to validate its utility. We compared belly board and Vac-lock type belly board through the OBI. OBI was performed three times with entire course of treatment and the setup errors in the direction of X axis, Y axis, Z axis were recorded and calculated the distance from the isocenter. X axis, Y axis, Z axis setup errors with existing belly board were 0.32 cm, 0.41 cm, 0.29 cm. The setup errors with the vac-lock type belly board were 0.12 cm, 0.19 cm, 0.17 cm. Further, errors of 0-0.29 cm were increased from 48% to 83 when using VLT belly board. Error of 0.5 cm or more was reduced from 21% to 2%. Vac-lock type belly board is able to maintain the efficacy of existing and create to match the characteristics of the patient. Therefore We think that vac-lock type belly board is very useful in pelvic cancer patients

AbstractAbstract
[en] Modern radiation therapy technique such as IGRT has become a routine clinical practice on LINAC for decrease patient's set-up error. CBCT can be used to adjust patient set-up error and treat patient more accurately. The purpose of this study is to evaluate field size of CBCT for improving Image quality and suggest reference date of CBCT field size. Materials and Methods: Image date were acquired using KV CBCT and Catphan phantom (Half fan and full fan mode were scanned from 2 - 16 cm, at intervals of 2 cm). Field size were categorized by Small field size (2 cm, 4 cm), Medium field size (8 cm, 10 cm), Large field size (more than 14 cm) and evaluate. To estimated the CTDi using CTDi phantom and Ion chamber. Results: CT number linearity of Small and Large field size are greater than Medium field size. Spatial resolution are not significantly different without Small field size. But half fan mode is more different than full fan mode. In full fan, except Medium field size, all field size exceed recommendation for HU uniformity. But half pan has stability for all field except Small field size. CTDi makes radical sign function graph in Medium field size. The worst result was given by Small field size for Image quality and practically. Medium field size can be useful to prevent patient from radiation exposure and give better Image quality. So this study recommends that Medium field size (8-10 cm) is more suitable for CBCT
