放疗计划剂量学数据的自动提取分析

      Automatic Extraction and Analysis of Dosimetry Data in Radiotherapy Plans

      • 摘要: 目的 为了提高批量患者放疗计划剂量学数据提取和分析的效率及准确性。方法 利用Matlab提供的DICOM RT接口函数编写程序解读计划输出文件,按照SPSS软件兼容的数据格式输出数据至Excel文件,使用SPSS软件导入数据文件进行分析,并对14例胃癌患者,比较手动和使用软件自动提取分析的速度和准确性。结果 软件提取方法输出的Excel文件数据格式符合SPSS软件要求,PTV的90%~98%剂量区间体积误差为-3.48E-5±3.01E-5,PTV的99%~106%剂量区间体积误差-1.11E-3±7.68E-4,危及器官剂量体积误差为-7.85E-5±9.91E-5。与手工提取分析相比,总耗时由5.3 h减少至0.19 h,错误率由0.002减少至0。结论 该文编写的软件实现了DICOM RT文件剂量学数据的批量自动提取,格式化输出,快速分析,提高了基于大量患者放疗剂量学数据分析的临床研究的效率。

         

        Abstract: Objective To improve the efficiency and accuracy of extraction and analysis of dosimetry data in radiotherapy plans for a batch of patients. Methods With the interface function provided in Matlab platform, a program was written to extract the dosimetry data exported from treatment planning system in DICOM RT format and exported the dosevolume data to an Excel file with the SPSS compatible format. This method was compared with manual operation for 14 gastric carcinoma patients to validate the efficiency and accuracy. Results The output Excel data were compatible with SPSS in format, the dosimetry data error for PTV dose interval of 90%~98%, PTV dose interval of 99%~106% and all OARs were -3.48E-5±3.01E-5, -1.11E-3±7.68E-4, -7.85E-5±9.91E-5 respectively. Compared with manual operation, the time required was reduced from 5.3 h to 0.19 h and input error was reduced from 0.002 to 0. Conclusion The automatic extraction of dosimetry data in DICOM RT format for batch patients, the SPSS compatible data exportation, quick analysis were achieved in this paper. The efficiency of clinical researches based on dosimetry data analysis of large number of patients will be improved with this method.
