چکیده
Introduction: Considering the unwanted exposure to organs in the path of the beam, ۴-field (۴F) and subsequently, Intensity-modulated-radiation-therapy (IMRT), is known as the standard mode of treatment of carcinoma cervix. It is routine practice to inject intravenous contrast during simulation scan which elopes after that from the patient body. Therefore, the impact of contrast media should be investigated for radiation dose calculations. Material and Methods: An indigenously made phantom, named as ‘original contrast (OC)’, was used with dimensions ۱۵ x ۱۵ x ۳۰ cm۳. A sleeve was given to place the ionization chamber at the isocentre of the planning target volume (PTV) inside the cylindrical vial of iodinized contrast. Similarly, a virtual phantom was created with similar dimensions in the presence and absence of contrast media, called as ‘virtual contrast (VC)’ and ‘virtual without contrast (VWC)’ phantom. Plans were generated with photon energies (۶MV/۱۰MV/۱۵MV/۶FFF/۱۰FFF) using ۴F and IMRT technique. Plans were evaluated for PTV (D۹۹%, D۱۰%, Dmean) and Bladder & Rectum (V۳۰Gy, V۱۰Gy). Normal-tissue-integral-dose (NTID) and total-monitor-units (TMU) were also evaluated. Results: D۹۹% of the PTV was comparable in VC and VWC phantoms but was decreased for OC phantom. Similarly, D۱۰% was reportedly higher as ۵۴.۰۳ Gy (۴F, ۶ MV), ۵۴.۷۱ Gy (۴F, ۱۵ MV), ۵۵.۷۸ Gy (۴F, ۶ FFF) and ۵۷.۶۴ Gy (۴F, ۱۰ FFF) for OC phantom. D۳۰% of the bladder and also the NTID was lesser for IMRT cases in all the selected phantoms. Additionally, ۴F has shown lesser spillage with ۶MV/۱۵ MV photon beam energies in OC phantom. The ‘total monitor units (TMU)’ required for IMRT plans were significantly higher. Conclusion: The contrast material under-estimates the planned dose yet has an insignificant influence on the dose calculation. Therefore, unnecessary exposure of dual scans should be avoided the use of ۶MV and IMRT technique should be continued in the clinics.کلیدواژه ها
