Outline of Research at the Start

本研究の目的は,放射線治療の中でも副作用が多くリスク臓器として管理が難しい直腸線量に着目し,カテーテルに光刺激ルミネッセンス(OSL)シートを装着した安価な使い捨て(ディスポーザブル)型の直腸線量計を開発することである.本研究では,方法論を実証するため密封小線源を用いた子宮癌の治療に着目する.放射線治療における臓器の線量管理は,現状では治療前に撮られたコンピュータ断層撮影像(CT画像)を前提とした計算値が使用されており,実測される例はほとんどない.本研究によって,直腸線量を実測できることが立証されれば,放射線治療のトレンドの一つの解決策を提示することができ,学問や社会への貢献度が高い.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Radiation therapy using 192Ir is used for the treatment of cervical cancer. Since the rectum, which is one of the radiation-sensitive organs, is an organ at risk in this treatment, it is required to control the dose precisely. In this study, we aimed to develop a new rectum dosimeter using an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeter and actually measuring the dose during clinical treatment to obtain knowledge about the development of a novel radiation dosimeter and the accuracy of delivered doses during clinical treatment. The hand-made rectum dosimeter was very small and inexpensive, therefore it is suitable for disposable use and is hygienic. For the results obtained in clinical studies, although we experienced a few cases in which differences between the planned and the measured doses become 10% or more, we could analyze the causes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

放射線治療時の投与線量は数%の誤差範囲内で決定できていると言われているが,この値は人体模型などを用いて測定した静的な条件下での評価であり,一般的には患者さんに起因する誤差を含んでいない.本研究で行った実測では,患者さんの状態や治療計画に用いるX線画像の質によって,実際の投与線量と計画線量の間に10%を超える差異が生じる可能性があることを明らかにした.この事実は,放射線治療の安全性や危険性を示すものではなく,あくまでも実臨床において,患者さんに起因する誤差要因が入り込む可能性を明示し,またこのような差異を開発した放射線線量計によって検出することができたことは学術的に大変重要である.
