AbstractObjective To evaluate the effect of different reconstruction images on cardiac dose evaluation by comparing the differences between 4D-CT series and special reconstruction images in evaluating the dose-volume index of cardiac structures. Methods ECG 4D-CT series were scanned in 15 female patients with left breast cancer. The images of 0-95% 20 phases were reconstructed at an interval of 5% cardiac cycle. The maximum intensity projection (MIP), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), average intensity projection (AIP) and sum intensity projection (SIP) images were obtained by special reconstruction of 4D-CT series. Left ventricle (LV) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) were delineated on 4D-CT and special reconstruction series, respectively. The intensity-modulated radiation therapy plan of the left breast cancer was designed on the basis of 0% phase, and the cumulative dose (Dose-cumulate) of 20 phases was obtained by deformation registration. The doses of 0% phase were deformed and registered to MIP, MinIP, AIP and SIP images to obtain the corresponding dose distribution. The dose-volume indexes of LV and LADCA based on different CT images were compared. Results In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LV, compared with 4D-CT series, the change rates of V5Gy, V30Gy, V40Gy, Dmax and Dmean on MIP images were 3.8%, 2.0%, 0.9%, 3.8% and 1.7%, respectively. There was significant difference in V5 and Dmax between MIP and 4D-CT (both P<0.05). Compared with 4D-CT, the change rates of Dmax on MinIP, SIP and AIP images were 2.5%, 3.1% and 1.5%, respectively (all P<0.05). In the evaluation of dose-volume index of LADCA, only the change rate of Dmax on four special reconstructed images was<5%(P<0.05). Conclusions In the dose-volume evaluation of LV, the V30Gy, V40Gy and Dmean obtained by MIP are basically equivalent to those obtained by 4D-CT series, which can be used to substitute 4D-CT series to evaluate the dose-volume. The special reconstruction image of LADCA can not replace 4D-CT series.
