Radiation therapy device controller, processing method and program for same

摘要

This radiation therapy device controller selects, for a plurality of body motion phases, computed tomography image data obtained which shows a diseased portion, and generates, for each rotation angles of a ray source and a sensor array, a reconstructed image. The control device generates a radiation projection image which shows the diseased portion when the radiation is radiated if the rotation angle is a predetermined rotation angle, compares the reconstructed image of each of the plurality of body motion phases with the radiation projection image, and determines a body motion phase indicated by a reconstructed image in which a difference is small, to be a current respiratory phase. As a result, a position of the diseased portion calculated for the computed tomography image data in the computed tomography image data group of the respiratory phase in advance is identified to be a current position of the diseased portion.

1. A processing method for a radiation therapy device controller for controlling a radiation therapy device that irradiates a living body arranged between a ray source and a sensor array with radiation from the ray source to treat a diseased portion of the living body, the processing method comprising:
selecting, for each of a plurality of body motion phases of the living body, computed tomography image data from a computed tomography image data group generated for each of the plurality of body motion phases of the living body; generating, for each rotation angle of the ray source and the sensor array, a reconstructed image corresponding to the body motion phase using the selected computed tomography image data; generating a radiation projection image which shows the diseased portion when the radiation is radiated from the ray source to the sensor array if the rotation angle is a predetermined rotation angle; comparing the reconstructed image of each of the plurality of body motion phases with the the generated radiation projection image, and determining the body motion phase indicated by a reconstructed image in which a difference between luminances of pixels constituting the images is small, to be a current body motion phase of the living body; and identifying a position of the diseased portion calculated for the CT image data in the CT image data group of the current body motion phase of the living body in advance, and determining the identified position to be a current position of the diseased portion.
