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
