Resolving signal drift in the wall-mounted camera of the RGSC system.
Journal of applied clinical medical physics(2024)
摘要
PURPOSE:To present a modified calibration method to reduce signal drift due to table sagging in Respiratory Gating for Scanner (RGSC) systems with a wall-mounted camera.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Approximately 70 kg of solid water phantoms were evenly distributed on the CT couch, mimicking the patient's weight. New calibration measurements were performed at 9 points at the combination of three lateral positions, the CT isocenter and ±10 cm laterally from the isocenter, and three longitudinal locations, the CT isocenter and ±30 cm or ±40 cm from the isocenter. The new calibration was tested in two hospitals.
RESULTS:Implementing the new weighed calibration method at the extended distance yielded improved results during the DIBH scan, reducing the drift to within 1 from 3 mm. The extended calibration positions exhibited similarly reduced drift in both hospitals, reinforcing the method's robustness and its potential applicability across all centers.
CONCLUSION:This proposed solution aims to minimize the systematic error in radiation delivery for patients undergoing motion management with wall-mounted camera RGSC systems, especially in conjunction with a bariatric CT couchtop.
