PurposeAt our institute, a transit back-projection algorithm is used clinically to reconstruct in vivo patient and in phantom 3D dose distributions using EPID measurements behind a patient or a polystyrene slab phantom, respectively. In this study, an extension to this algorithm is presented whereby in air EPID measurements are used in combination with CT data to reconstruct ‘virtual’ 3D dose distributions. By combining virtual and in vivo patient verification data for the same treatment, patient-related errors can be separated from machine, planning and model errors.Methods and materialsThe virtual back-projection algorithm is described and verified against the transit algorithm with measurements made behind a slab phantom, against dose measurements made with an ionization chamber and with the OCTAVIUS 4D system, as well as against TPS patient data. Virtual and in vivo patient dose verification results are also compared.ResultsVirtual dose reconstructions agree within 1% with ionization chamber measurements. The average γ-pass rate values (3% global dose/3 mm) in the 3D dose comparison with the OCTAVIUS 4D system and the TPS patient data are 98.5 ± 1.9%(1SD) and 97.1 ± 2.9%(1SD), respectively. For virtual patient dose reconstructions, the differences with the TPS in median dose to the PTV remain within 4%.ConclusionsVirtual patient dose reconstruction makes pre-treatment verification based on deviations of DVH parameters feasible and eliminates the need for phantom positioning and re-planning. Virtual patient dose reconstructions have additional value in the inspection of in vivo deviations, particularly in situations where CBCT data is not available (or not conclusive). 相似文献

Static, B-mode ultrasound is the most common method of measuring fascicle length in vivo. However, most forearm muscles have fascicles that are longer than the field-of-view of traditional ultrasound (T-US). As such, little work has been done to quantify in vivo forearm muscle architecture. The extended field-of-view ultrasound (EFOV-US) method, which fits together a sequence of B-mode images taken from a continuous ultrasound scan, facilitates direct measurements of longer, curved fascicles. Here, we test the validity and reliability of the EFOV-US method for obtaining fascicle lengths in the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU). Fascicle lengths from images of the ECU captured in vivo with EFOV-US were compared to lengths from a well-established method, T-US. Images were collected in a joint posture that shortens the ECU such that entire fascicle lengths were captured within a single T-US image. Resulting measurements were not significantly different (p = 0.18); a Bland-Altman test demonstrated their agreement. A novice sonographer implemented EFOV-US in a phantom and in vivo on the ECU. The novice sonographer’s measurements from the ultrasound phantom indicate that the combined imaging and analysis method is valid (average error = 2.2 ± 1.3 mm) and the in vivo fascicle length measurements demonstrate excellent reliability (ICC = 0.97). To our knowledge, this is the first study to quantify in vivo fascicle lengths of the ECU using any method. The ability to define a muscle’s architecture in vivo using EFOV-US could lead to improvements in diagnosis, model development, surgery guidance, and rehabilitation techniques. 相似文献

SBRT for lung cancer is being rapidly adopted as a treatment option in modern radiotherapy centres. This treatment is one of the most complex in common clinical use, requiring significant expertise and resources. It delivers a high dose per fraction (typically ∼6–30 Gy/fraction) over few fractions. The complexity and high dose delivered in only a few fractions make powerful arguments for the application of in vivo dosimetry methods for these treatments to enhance patient safety. In vivo dosimetry is a group of techniques with a common objective – to estimate the dose delivered to the patient through a direct measurement of the treatment beam(s). In particular, methods employing an electronic portal imaging device have been intensely investigated over the past two decades. Treatment verification using in vivo dosimetry approaches has been shown to identify errors that would have been missed with other common quality assurance methods. With the addition of in vivo dosimetry to verify treatments, medical physicists and clinicians have a higher degree of confidence that the dose has been delivered to the patient as intended.In this review, the technical aspects and challenges of in vivo dosimetry for lung SBRT will be presented, focusing on transit dosimetry applications using electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs). Currently available solutions will be discussed and published clinical experiences, which are very limited to date, will be highlighted. 相似文献

PurposeThree MOSkins dosimeters were assembled over a rectal probe and used to perform in vivo dosimetry during HDR brachytherapy treatments of vaginal cancer. The purpose of this study was to verify the applicability of the developed tool to evaluate discrepancies between planned and measured doses to the rectal wall.Materials and methodsMOSkin dosimeters from the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics are particularly suitable for brachytherapy procedures for their ability to be easily incorporated into treatment instrumentation. In this study, 26 treatment sessions of HDR vaginal brachytherapy were monitored using three MOSkin mounted on a rectal probe. A total of 78 measurements were collected and compared to doses determined by the treatment planning system.ResultsMean dose discrepancy was determined as 2.2 ± 6.9%, with 44.6% of the measurements within ±5%, 89.2% within ±10% and 10.8% higher than ±10%. When dose discrepancies were grouped according to the time elapsed between imaging and treatment (i.e., group 1: ≤90 min; group 2: >90 min), mean discrepancies resulted in 4.7 ± 3.6% and 7.1 ± 5.0% for groups 1 and 2, respectively. Furthermore, the position of the dosimeter on the rectal catheter was found to affect uncertainty, where highest uncertainties were observed for the dosimeter furthest inside the rectum.ConclusionsThis study has verified MOSkin applicability to in-patient dose monitoring in gynecological brachytherapy procedures, demonstrating the dosimetric rectal probe setup as an accurate and convenient IVD instrument for rectal wall dose verification. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the delivered dose discrepancy may be affected by the duration of treatment planning. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to measure patient skin dose in tangential breast radiotherapy. Treatment planning dose calculation algorithm such as Pencil Beam Convolution (PBC) and in vivo dosimetry techniques such as radiochromic film can be used to accurately monitor radiation doses at tissue depths, but they are inaccurate for skin dose measurement. A MOSFET-based (MOSkin) detector was used to measure skin dose in this study. Tangential breast radiotherapies (“bolus” and “no bolus”) were simulated on an anthropomorphic phantom and the skin doses were measured. Skin doses were also measured in 13 patients undergoing each of the techniques. In the patient study, the EBT2 measurements and PBC calculation tended to over-estimate the skin dose compared with the MOSkin detector (p < 0.05) in the “no bolus radiotherapy”. No significant differences were observed in the “bolus radiotherapy” (p > 0.05). The results from patients were similar to that of the phantom study. This shows that the EBT2 measurement and PBC calculation, while able to predict accurate doses at tissue depths, are inaccurate in predicting doses at build-up regions. The clinical application of the MOSkin detectors showed that the average total skin doses received by patients were 1662 ± 129 cGy (medial) and 1893 ± 199 cGy (lateral) during “no bolus radiotherapy”. The average total skin doses were 4030 ± 72 cGy (medial) and 4004 ± 91 cGy (lateral) for “bolus radiotherapy”. In some cases, patient skin doses were shown to exceed the dose toxicity level for skin erythema. Hence, a suitable device for in vivo dosimetry is necessary to accurately determine skin dose. 相似文献

Current methods for measuring in vivo 3D muscle-tendon moment arms generally rely on the acquisition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at multiple joint angles. However, for patients with musculoskeletal pathologies such as fixed contractures, moving a joint through its full range of motion is not always feasible. The purpose of this research was to develop a simple, but reliable in vivo 3D Achilles tendon moment arm (ATMA) technique from a single static MRI scan. To accomplish this, for nine healthy adults (5 males, 4 females), the geometry of a cylinder was fit to the 3D form of the talus dome, which was used to estimate the talocrural flexion/extension axis, and a fifth-order polynomial fit to the line of action of the Achilles tendon. The single static scan in vivo 3D ATMA estimates were compared to estimates obtained from the same subjects at the same ankle joint angles using a previously validated 3D dynamic MRI based in vivo ATMA measurement technique. The ATMA estimates from the single scan in vivo 3D method (52.5 mm ± 5.6) were in excellent agreement (ICC = 0.912) to the validated in vivo 3D method (51.5 mm ± 5.1). These data show reliable in vivo 3D ATMA can be obtained from a single MRI scan for healthy adult populations. The single scan, in vivo 3D ATMA technique provides researchers with a simple, but reliable method for obtaining subject-specific ATMAs for musculoskeletal modelling purposes. 相似文献

In this study we evaluated the effects of semen extender supplementation with different concentrations of glutathione (GSH) on buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bull sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability and DNA integrity as well as in vivo fertility. Semen from three Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls was collected, and qualified semen ejaculates (n = 18) were split into five aliquots for dilution (37 °C; 50 × 106 spermatozoa ml?1) with experimental tris-citric acid extender containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mM GSH. Extended semen was cooled to 4 °C, equilibrated and filled in French straws. The straws were kept on liquid nitrogen vapors (5 cm above the LN2 level) for 10 min and plunged in liquid nitrogen for storage. Sperm motility (%), plasma membrane integrity (%), viability (%) and DNA integrity (%) were assessed at 0, 2 and 4 h post-thawing (37 °C). Extender supplementation with GSH (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mM) increased sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and viability in a dose dependent manner. Sperm DNA integrity was higher (p < 0.05) in all experimental extenders containing GSH when compared to the control extender (0 mM GSH). The in vivo fertility rate of cryopreserved buffalo bull (n = 2) spermatozoa was higher (p < 0.05) in extender containing 2.0 mM GSH compared to that of control. In summary, tris-citric acid extender supplemented with glutathione improved the freezability of buffalo bull spermatozoa in a dose dependant manner. Moreover, the addition of 2.0 mM GSH to the extender enhanced the in vivo fertility of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bull spermatozoa. 相似文献

The mechanical properties of tissues are increasingly recognized as important cues for cell physiology and pathology. Nevertheless, there is a sparsity of quantitative, high-resolution data on mechanical properties of specific tissues. This is especially true for the central nervous system (CNS), which poses particular difficulties in terms of preparation and measurement. We have prepared thin slices of brain tissue suited for indentation measurements on the micrometer scale in a near-native state. Using a scanning force microscope with a spherical indenter of radius ~20 μm we have mapped the effective elastic modulus of rat cerebellum with a spatial resolution of 100 μm. We found significant differences between white and gray matter, having effective elastic moduli of K=294±74 and 454±53 Pa, respectively, at 3 μm indentation depth (ng=245, nw=150 in four animals, p<0.05; errors are SD). In contrast to many other measurements on larger length scales, our results were constant for indentation depths of 2–4 μm indicating a regime of linear effective elastic modulus. These data, assessed with a direct mechanical measurement, provide reliable high-resolution information and serve as a quantitative basis for further neuromechanical investigations on the mechanical properties of developing, adult and damaged CNS tissue. 相似文献

Catalase is a key antioxidant enzyme and has been implicated in many pathophysiological processes of human diseases. In a previous study, we developed a yeast-based expression system for recombinant human catalase (rhCAT), and proved its therapeutic effects for treating H1N1 virus-induced pneumonia. However, the preparation of rhCAT was insufficient for further research applications. Here, we describe a much more convenient construction strategy for rhCAT based on the Pichia pastoris GS115 strain in a 14 L bioreactor. Quantitative-PCR, Western blotting, and activity assay were used to demonstrate the stable and efficient high-level expression (1500 U/mL; 77% recovery) achieved by this newly developed simple two-step purification procedure. The rhCAT synthesized by this new procedure was applied to an H1N1-infected mouse model (doses of 50 and 100 kU/mice/day) to assess its capabilities for inducing immunomodulatory effects. The results showed that the rhCAT could restore the impaired phagocytosis, alleviate the induced reductions in spleen and thymus organ weights, and markedly reduce the lung tissue viral load, all in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, this study provides not only a simple method for large-scale preparation of active rhCAT, but also in vivo evidence of the recombinant protein's immunomodulatory activity which may have clinical applications in treating H1N1 or other viral infections. 相似文献

The crude extract of the red seaweed, Asparagopsis sp. was evaluated for in vivo antibacterial activity against the shrimp vibrio pathogens. The algal extract was rationalized with commercial shrimp feed and orally administered for different duration of time followed by the artificial bacterial challenge experiment. In dose titration experiments, the oral administration of Asparagopsis sp. at a dosage of 850 mg kg–1 of biomass was highly efficacious in the treatment of natural infestations of Vibriosis in Penaeus monodon. The results of the confirmatory dose experiment revealed that the prophylactic treatment with moderate dose of 850 mg kg–1 of biomass day–1 for four weeks followed by 14 days of post infection therapy was highly effective in controlling Vibrio infection in shrimps. Moreover, results of the percent survival index and microbiological analysis clearly show that Asparagopsis extract incorporated medicated feed had broad therapeutic potential for managing shrimp Vibriosis. In addition, in vivo trials and results obtained in this work are based on the crude organic extract sourced from an unidentified Asparagopsis cryptic lineage, therefore further molecular analysis to identify the species will be required. 相似文献

PurposeWithin the SYRMA-CT collaboration based at the ELETTRA synchrotron radiation (SR) facility the authors investigated the imaging performance of the phase-contrast computed tomography (CT) system dedicated to monochromatic in vivo 3D imaging of the female breast, for breast cancer diagnosis.MethodsTest objects were imaged at 38 keV using monochromatic SR and a high-resolution CdTe photon-counting detector. Signal and noise performance were evaluated using modulation transfer function (MTF) and noise power spectrum. The analysis was performed on the images obtained with the application of a phase retrieval algorithm as well as on those obtained without phase retrieval. The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and the capability of detecting test microcalcification clusters and soft masses were investigated.ResultsFor a voxel size of (60 μm)3, images without phase retrieval showed higher spatial resolution (6.7 mm−1 at 10% MTF) than corresponding images with phase retrieval (2.5 mm−1). Phase retrieval produced a reduction of the noise level and an increase of the CNR by more than one order of magnitude, compared to raw phase-contrast images. Microcalcifications with a diameter down to 130 μm could be detected in both types of images.ConclusionsThe investigation on test objects indicates that breast CT with a monochromatic SR source is technically feasible in terms of spatial resolution, image noise and contrast, for in vivo 3D imaging with a dose comparable to that of two-view mammography. Images obtained with the phase retrieval algorithm showed the best performance in the trade-off between spatial resolution and image noise. 相似文献

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractographic reconstruction may be applied for in vivo clinical spinal cord studies. However, this structure represents a challenge to current acquisition and reconstruction strategies, due to its small size, motion artifacts, partial volume effects and low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). Aims of this work were to select the best approach for the estimate of SNR and to use it for spinal cord diffusion weighted (DW) sequence optimization.Seven methods for the estimate of SNR were compared on uniform phantom DW images, and the best performing approach (single ROI for signal and noise, difference of images—SNRdiff) was applied for the following in vivo sequence evaluations.Fifteen sequences with different parameters (voxel size, repetition (TR) and echo (TE) times) were compared according to SNR, resolution, fractional anisotropy (FA) and tractography performances on three healthy volunteers. In vivo optimization of DW sequences resulted in: axial sequence, with voxel size = 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm × 3.5 mm, TR = 3200 ms and TE = 89 ms, sagittal sequence with voxel size = 2.2 mm × 2.2 mm × 2 mm, TR = 3000 ms and TE = 84 ms.An objective method tested on phantom and a practical index for in vivo spinal cord DTI SNR estimation allowed to obtain axial and sagittal optimized sequences, providing excellent tractographic results, with acceptable acquisition times for in vivo clinical applications. 相似文献

Background and purposeTomoDirect (TD) can only operate in free-breathing. The purpose of this study is to compare TD with breath-hold 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques for left breast treatments, and to determine if the lack of respiratory gating is a handicap for cardiac sparing.Materials and methods15 patients treated for left breast had two computed tomography simulation, in free breathing (FB) and in deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH). Four treatments were planned: TD-FB, 3DCRT-FB, 3DCRT-DIBH and IMRT-DIBH. Dose to PTV, heart, lungs, right breast and patient were compared.ResultsA slightly lower cardiac mean dose is found for 3DCRT-DIBH than for TD-FB group (1.99 Gy Vs 2.89 Gy, p = 0.0462), while no statistical difference is found for heart V20. TD-FB plans show the best PTV dose homogeneity (0.053, p < 0.001) and the lowest left lung mean dose (5.16 Gy, p < 0.001). No major differences are found for the other organs.ConclusionsTomoDirect and breath-hold 3DCRT are complementary techniques for left breast treatments: for a minority of patients, respiratory gating is mandatory to lower cardiac dose; for the remaining majority of patients, TomoDirect achieves better PTV homogeneity and reduced left lung dose, with cardiac dose equivalent to 3DCRT-DIBH. 相似文献

AimTo evaluate dose differences in lung metastases treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and the correlation with local control, regarding the dose algorithm, target volume and tissue density.BackgroundSeveral studies showed excellent local control rates in SBRT for lung metastases, with different fractionation schemes depending on the tumour location or size. These results depend on the dose distributions received by the lesions in terms of the tissue heterogeneity corrections performed by the dose algorithms.Materials and methodsForty-seven lung metastases treated with SBRT, using intrafraction control and respiratory gating with internal fiducial markers as surrogates (ExacTrac, BrainLAB AG), were calculated using Pencil Beam (PB) and Monte Carlo (MC) (iPlan, BrainLAB AG).Dose differences between both algorithms were obtained for the dose received by 99% (D99%) and 50% (D50%) of the planning treatment volume (PTV). The biologically effective dose delivered to 99% (BED99%) and 50% (BED50%) of the PTV were estimated from the MC results. Local control was evaluated after 24 months of median follow-up (range: 3–52 months).ResultsThe greatest variations (40.0% in ΔD99% and 38.4% in ΔD50%) were found for the lower volume and density cases. The BED99% and BED50% were strongly correlated with observed local control rates: 100% and 61.5% for BED99% > 85 Gy and <85 Gy (p < 0.0001), respectively, and 100% and 58.3% for BED50% > 100 Gy and <100 Gy (p < 0.0001), respectively.ConclusionsLung metastases treated with SBRT, with delivered BED99% > 85 Gy and BED50% > 100 Gy, present better local control rates than those treated with lower BED values (p = 0.001). 相似文献

Semicarbazide (SEM) is a by-product of the blowing agent azodicarbonamide, present in glass jar-sealed foodstuffs mainly baby foods. The pleiotropic in vivo SEM toxicological effects suggested to explore its possible role as endocrine modulator. Endocrine effects of SEM were assessed in vivo in male and female rats after oral administration for 28 days at 0, 40, 75, 140 mg/kg bw pro die during the juvenile period. Vaginal opening and preputial separation were recorded. Concentration of sex steroid in blood, the ex vivo hepatic aromatase activity and testosterone catabolism were detected. The in vitro approach to test SEM role as (anti)estrogen or N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs)-(anti)agonist included different assays: yeast estrogenicity, MCF-7 proliferation, stimulation of the alkaline phosphatase activity in Ishikawa cells and LNCaP-based NMDAR interference assay. In vivo SEM-treated female rats showed delayed vaginal opening at all tested doses, whereas in males preputial separation was anticipated at SEM 40 and 75 mg/kg and delayed at 140 mg/kg, the latter effect probably due to the significantly decreased body weight gain seen at the higher dose in both sexes. Serum estrogen levels were dose-dependently reduced in treated females, whereas dehydrotestosterone serum levels were also decreased but a clear dose–response was not evidenced. Testosterone catabolism was altered in a gender-related way, aromatase activity was increased in treated males at 75 and 140 mg/kg and in females in all dose groups. In the three estradiol-competitive assays, SEM showed a weak anti-estrogenic activity, whereas in the LNCaP-based NMDAR interference assay SEM activity resembled MK-801 antagonist effect. SEM appeared to act as an endocrine disrupter showing multiple and gender specific mechanisms of action(s). A possible cascade-mechanism of SEM on reproductive signalling pathways may be hypothesized. Such in vivo–in vitro approach appeared to be an useful tool to highlight SEM activity on endocrine homeostasis. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to investigate the dosimetric uncertainty of stochastic noise and the post-irradiation density growth for reflective-type radiochromic film to obtain the appropriate dose from the exactly controlled film density. Film pieces were irradiated with 6-MV photon beams ranging from 0 to 400 cGy. The pixel values (PVs) of these films were obtained using a flatbed scanner at elapsed times of 1 min to 120 h between the end of irradiation and the film scan. The means and standard deviations (SDs) of the PVs were calculated. The SDs of the converted dose scale, usd, and the dose increases resulting from the PV increases per ±29 min at each elapsed time, utime, were computed. The combined dose uncertainties from these two factors, uc, were then calculated. A sharp increase in the PV occurred within the first 3 h after irradiation, and a slight increase continued from 3 h to 120 h. usd was independent of post-irradiation elapsed time. Sharp decreases in utime were obtained within 1 h after irradiation, and slight decreases in utime were observed from 1 to 24 h after irradiation. uc first decreased 1 h after irradiation and remained constant afterward. Assuming that the post-irradiation elapsed times of all of the related measurements are synchronized within ±29 min, the elapsed time should be at least 1 h in our system. It is important to optimize the scanning protocol for each institution with consideration of the required measurement uncertainty and acceptable latency time. 相似文献

This communication explains the biosynthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Melia azedarach and its cytotoxicity against in vitro HeLa cells and in vivo Dalton's ascites lymphoma (DAL) mice model. The AgNPs synthesis was determined by UV–visible spectrum and it was further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Zeta potential analysis revealed stable AgNPs at ?24.9 mV. UV visible spectrum indicated an absorption peak at 436 nm which reflects its specific Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Biosynthesized AgNPs were predominantly cubical and spherical with an average particle size of 78 nm approximately as observed through SEM and DLS analysis, respectively. Cytotoxicity of biosynthesized AgNPs against in vitro Human epithelial carcinoma cell line (HeLa) showed a dose–response activity. Lethal dose (LD50) value was found to be 300 μg/mL of AgNPs against HeLa cell line. Cytotoxicity against normal continuous cell line human breast lactating, donor 100 (HBL 100) was found only in increased concentration of both AgNPs and 5-FU. In addition, in vivo DAL mice model showed significant increase in life span, induction of apoptosis was evidenced by acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO and EB) staining. 相似文献
