3 Objectives Most current volumetric imaging paradigms require significant time to acquire and process information prior to making a decision Radiographic and fluoroscopic methods have shown the feasibility of localization and rapid fiducial position monitoring, although dose may be an issue for fractionated treatments A wireless electromagnetic localization is under development for positioning and tracking during radiotherapy
4 Implantable Sensor - Beacon TM Transponder Wireless AC electromagnetic resonant circuit No external lead wires No internal power supply Designed for permanent implantation Implanted prior to therapy Positioned in soft tissue in or near treatment target Remains inactive until energized by system console 1.85 mm x 8 mm for initial prostate application

7 Step 1: Implant Beacon Transponders
8 Step 2: Treatment Planning CT Reference coordinates of transponders with respect to isocenter are established from a treatment planning CT scan Transponders X Isocenter Z Y x T,y T,z T Relative Position (xt,yt,zt) = transponder location (x,y,z) isocenter (x,y,z)
9 Step 3: Localization Localization system components at the linac: 1. Wireless Transponders 2. Array 3. Console 4. Infrared Cameras 5. Tracking Station - Cameras determine array position relative to isocenter - Transponders are continuously localized relative to the array - The relative offset between expected and actual transponder positions is reported for feedback in positioning

11 Accuracy and linac compatibility Evaluate the system in the radiation therapy environment for: Accuracy of setup localization Stability over time Effect on localization accuracy during linac operation (IMRT) Effect on localization accuracy with displacement of transponders (to simulate minor deformations/volume changes)
12 Test Assembly Prior to linac testing, accuracy was established using a calibrated benchtop system Custom designed stand with precision mounts at fixed offsets (- 8, -4, 0, 4, 8 cm) from center and distances from the array selected by the length of precision-machined mounting posts Constructed using Ultem 1000 (GE Thermoplastics) high rigidity, low thermal expansion Machined positions and inserts ( <0.1 mm precision) Calibrated by reference alignment marks and validated by a null position transponder
13 Test assembly Source Array Transponder
14 Experimental setup Transponder
15 Localization experiments Comparison of actual versus predicted position at distances of 80 and 270 mm from the source array (minimum and maximum distances determined from retrospective evaluation of prostate position from clinical sites). Tests performed in air and separately in a tank of 0.9% saline solution to mimic properties of human tissue Tests of tracking rate Reporting position over multiple readings to report stability and precision at 10 Hz sampling at 20s versus 20 minutes Tracking of linear trajectories at varying speed
16 Stability 20 s (10 Hz) (80 mm from source array) 0.03 e rro r (c m ) x axis y axis z axis time (s) σ x = mm, σ y = 0.01 mm, σ z = mm

21 Accuracy in saline Tested under conditions of maximum likely error (270 mm distance to array) in 0.9% saline (140 mm depth to transponder) Centered position Accuracy: dx 0.11 mm, dy 0.06 mm, dz 0.32 mm Precision: σ x 0.27 mm, σ y 0.36 mm, σ z 0.69 mm Offset 8 cm laterally Accuracy: dx 0.29 mm, dy 0.43 mm, dz 0.27 mm Precision: σ x 0.54 mm, σ y 0.41 mm, σ z 0.43 mm
22 Accuracy with 3 transponders To demonstrate lack of cross talk, a mount with three transponders was tested (separation of 1 cm between pairs of transponders) Accuracy of localization: 80 mm from source array: dx 0.17 mm, dy 0.03 mm, dz 0.05 mm σ x 0.01 mm, σ y 0.01 mm, σ z 0.01 mm 270 mm from source array: dx 0.16 mm, dy 0.18 mm, dz 0.12 mm σ x 0.26 mm, σ y 0.49 mm, σ z 0.62 mm.
23 Phantom design A tissue equivalent phantom was developed for accuracy studies containing external marks for laser-based alignment and a precision slot for test inserts Inserts were machined containing transponders in known configurations The configuration of transponders for a given insert generates an average coordinate with a known (nonzero) offset relative to isocenter (when the phantom is aligned to lasers using the external marks)
24 Accuracy Demonstration - Method Laser accuracy was established using a stereotactic isocenter standard (~0.25 mm) Target position was accuracy was defined by absolute error from baseline position established by laser alignment and phantom design ( truth ) Comparison to existing standard for localization was accomplished by diagnostic radiographic localization at UM using inroom X-Ray system Perform both a kv and Calypso isocenter localization and compare each to the measured ( absolute ) isocenter offset by CT
25 Static Accuracy Results Absolute Isocenter Offset: mm lat, 4.70mm long, 0.01 mm vert Reported Position (mm) Reported & truth difference (mm) Localization Method Lat Long Vert Lat Long Vert 3-D error Radiographic Localization Calypso Localization

27 System Stability in RT Environment - Beam On Same setup process as beam off experiment Continuous monitoring during delivery of 5 field IMRT (step and shoot) treatment over 15 minutes Slight (<0.2 mm) dependence of gantry angle on average offset measurements Variation (σ): (0.8,0.6,0.6) mm Location (mm) Target Position during IMRT 225 o gantry 290 o gantry 330 o gantry Lat Vert 20 o gantry Long 65 o gantry Time (minutes)

29 Study - Conclusions The Calypso System was able to localize the isocenter with sub-millimeter (< 1mm) accuracy After initial setup, the system was capable of performing stable continuous localization (drift <0.2 mm) Minimal localization error (<0.2mm) induced by linac operation Accuracy of tracking offsets due to table shifts up to 10 mm was within the accuracy of reference standard (radiographic) localization technique
