Abstract (english)
Objective: To present results of the first national survey on reference levels of CT imaging performed for the treatment planning purposes in radiation oncology in Croatia. Methods: Data for CT protocols of five anatomical regions including head, head and neck, pelvis, breast, and thorax were collected at eight radiation oncology departments in Croatia. Data included volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), dose-length product (DLP), scan length and set of acquisition and reconstruction parameters. Data... More on a total of 600 patients were collected. Median values of scan length, DLP and CTDIvol were calculated for each acquisition protocol. Third quartiles of the median CTDIvol and DLP values were proposed as the national radiotherapy planning reference levels (RPRL). Results: The largest CoV were assessed for RT Breast (63.8% for CTDIvol), RT Thorax (79.7% for DLP) and RT H&N (21.2% for scan length). RT Head had the lowest CoV for CTDIvol (1,9%) and DLP (17,2%), while RT Breast had the lowest coefficient of variation for scan length (12.8%). Proposed national RPRLs are: for RT Head CTDIvol16cm = 62 mGy and DLP16cm = 1738 mGy.cm; for RT H&N CTDIvol16cm = 35 mGy and DLP16cm = 1444 mGy.cm; for RT Breast CTDIvol32cm = 16 mGy and DLP32cm = 731 mGy.cm; for RT Thorax CTDIvol32cm = 17 mGy and DLP32cm = 865 mGy.cm; for RT Pelvis CTDIvol32cm = 20 mGy and DLP32cm = 1133 mGy.cm. Conclusions: Results of this study show variations in CT imaging for treatment planning practice at the national level which call for optimization of procedures. Less
