Outline Respiratory gating at the DIBH mode Motivation External gating AlignRT Beam Hold a VisionRT gating software DIBH clinical flow in UNC At CT SIM Daily treatment 2
Deep inspiration Moves the heart inferior & posterior Displacing it from the left breast 3
Why gate breast patient? DIBH can maximize the distance between chest wall and heart to reduce cardiac toxicity 4 Breath hold DIBH CT Free breathing Regular CT
Heart DVH comparison 5
Literature review Toronto Sunnybrook regional cancer centre 5 patients: Decreased irradiated volume 6
Literature review (cont.) 5 patients: Achieved a mean absolute reduction of in heart volume 7
External gating External surrogate systems Varian RPM system track a block on abdomen Siemens Anzai system track abdomen amplitude VisionRT GateRT system track one point on breast surface Direct breast surface matching system VisionRT AlignRT Beam Hold system track breast surface 8

AlignRT Beam Hold 3D imaging solution for patient setup and real time tracking during RT Non-invasive Does not require any markers Does not require additional radiation 10

Surface matching algorithm Gating based on real-time deltas R stands for reference 3D image (either CT surface rendering or patient surface image) V stands for verification 3D image 13
Real time deltas Real time register V to R The following deltas have to meet the preset threshold in order to BEAM ON R V VRT VRT LONG LONG LAT LAT R V R V 2 2 VRTR VRTV LONGR LONGV LATR LATV 2 VRTR VRT V R LONG V LONG LATR LAT V 14
Surface matching based DIBH in UNC Started July 2010 first in the US Treated more than 30 patients 15 min slot for daily treatment 6 DIBH patients this week 15
AT CT SIM Obtain one set of regular CT Obtain one set of deep inspiration breath hold CT Tattoo patient the conventional way (free breathing) 16
Threshold selection 17
Patient setup Align patient based on tattoos Adjust couch position when patient holds her breath at DIBH mode to meet all AlignRT Beam Hold tolerance (threshold) On port film days, take films while patient holds her breath and all tolerances are met 18
Reference images Non-bolus days Bolus days 19 CT skin rendering Surface capture at DIBH
Real-time delta 20
Gated treatment Coach patient to hold her breath Audio coaching Video coaching Beam ON automatically when all tolerances met 21
