目的:分析1.5T高场强MR加速器(MR-Linac)的图像畸变，以及MR-Linac和外设对MR图像畸变影响。方法:采用特制的MR几何畸变测试模体和分析软件，建立在以磁体中心为球心的球形体积直径(DSV)内MR图像畸变的基准。分析加速器束流系统、机械系统和外设设备工作时对图像畸变的影响，并通过长期追踪测试来观察MR-Linac图像畸变的稳定性。结果:高场强MR-Linac的图像畸变随着测试点距离磁体中心的距离增大图像畸变也相应增大DSV 400 mm范围内绝大部分测试点在三维方向的图像畸变2 mm，最大畸变>7 mm。MR-Linac图像畸变在装机后7个月内保持稳定，加速器以及外设工作时仅对DSV 400～500 mm范围内MR图像几何畸变的最大值有轻微影响。结论:高场强MR-Linac的临床使用中应谨慎治疗肿瘤位置距离等中心>20 cm的病例。MR-Linac在装机后7个月内图像畸变保持稳定，加速器和外设工作时对图像畸变的影响有限，临床上可以忽略。“,”Objective:To characterize the imaging distortion of the 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging-guided linear accelerator (MR-Linac) and to analyze the influence of MR-Linac and peripheral devices on the geometric distortion.Methods:Specialized MRI imaging distortion phantom and analysis software were applied. The baseline of imaging distortion within diameter spherical volume (DSV) around the center of the magnet was established. The influence of the beam generation system, mechanical system and peripheral devices on the imaging distortion was analyzed. The long-term stability of imaging distortion was tested on the MR-Linac.Results:Imaging distortion of the MR-Linac was increased with the increasing distance to the center of the magnet. Within DSV 400 mm, few test points surpassed 1 mm imaging distortion in 3D directions. However, imaging distortion surpassed 2 mm in part of region within DSV 400-500 mm, with the largest distortion over 7 mm. Imaging distortion of the MR-Linac remained unchanged within 7 months after installation. And the influence of the MR-Linac and peripheral devices on the imaging distortion was only observed in the overall largest distortion within DSV 400-500 mm.Conclusions:Cautions should be taken during the application of high-field MR-Linac in patients whose tumor location is over 20 cm from the ISO center. Imaging distortion of the MR-Linac remains stable within 7 months after installation. The influence of the MR-Linac and peripheral devices on the imaging distortion is trivial, which can be neglected in clinical practice.
