Technical Note: 4D cone-beam CT reconstruction from sparse-view CBCT data for daily motion assessment in pencil beam scanned proton therapy (PBS-PT).

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The number of pencil beam scanned proton therapy (PBS-PT) facilities equipped with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging treating thoracic indications is constantly rising. To enable daily internal motion monitoring during PBS-PT treatments of thoracic tumors, we assess the performance of Motion-Aware RecOnstructiOn method using Spatial and Temporal Regularization (MA-ROOSTER) four-dimensional CBCT (4DCBCT) reconstruction for sparse-view CBCT data and a realistic data set of patients treated with proton therapy. METHODS:Daily CBCT projection data for nine non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and one SCLC patient were acquired at a proton gantry system (IBA Proteus® One). Four-dimensional CBCT images were reconstructed applying the MA-ROOSTER and the conventional phase-correlated Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (PC-FDK) method. Image quality was assessed by visual inspection, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the structural similarity index measure (SSIM). Furthermore, gross tumor volume (GTV) centroid motion amplitudes were evaluated. RESULTS:Image quality for the 4DCBCT reconstructions using MA-ROOSTER was superior to the PC-FDK reconstructions and close to FDK images (median CNR: 1.23 [PC-FDK], 1.98 [MA-ROOSTER], and 1.98 [FDK]; median SNR: 2.56 [PC-FDK], 4.76 [MA-ROOSTER], and 5.02 [FDK]; median SSIM: 0.18 [PC-FDK vs FDK], 0.31 [MA-ROOSTER vs FDK]). The improved image quality of MA-ROOSTER facilitated GTV contour warping and realistic motion monitoring for most of the reconstructions. CONCLUSION:MA-ROOSTER based 4DCBCTs performed well in terms of image quality and appear to be promising for daily internal motion monitoring in PBS-PT treatments of (N)SCLC patients.
