ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the motion characteristics of primary thoracic esophageal carcinoma with four-dimensional computed tomography(4DCT).Methods Sixteen patients with primary thoracic esophageal carcinoma received respiratory gated 4DCT imaging,mapping the GTV1-GTV10 on every patient's each subsequent CT image of 10 images in the full-respiratory phase,and measuring the displacement of each centre of GTV.These displacements and directions were analyzed on different segments of esophagus.Results The mean total lung volume and GTV volume was 2993.5 cm3,35.00 cm3 and 3362.12 cm3,34.84 cm'respectively on end-expiration and end-inspiration phases(t=12.36,P=0.000and t=-0.61,P=0.546).The total mean peak to peak displacement of GTV were 0.65 mm,0.55 mm,and 2.03 nnn in x,y-and z-axis direction,respectively(F=41.14,P=0.000).The motion in x-axis,y-axis and z-axis were 0.50 mm,0.48mm,1.23 mm in the upper segment(F=5.45,P=0.017),0.68 mm,0.62 mm,1.97 mm in the middle segment(F=27.74,P=0.000),0.72 mm,0.38 mm,3.05 mm in the lower segment,respectively(F=15.61,P=0.000).Conclusions The displacement of tumor in z axis is more notable than x-,y-axis in thoracic esophageal carcinoma.The displacement of tumor x-,y-and z-axis is different in different segment of thoracic esophageal carcinoma.
