Brain Metastases
Conditions
Brief summary
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is being widely accepted as a treatment of choice for patients with a small number of brain metastases and an acceptable size, allowing a better target dose conformity resulting in high local control rates and better sparing of organs at risk. Currently, imaging for such a delivery technique requires both a recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain study for volume definition and a computed tomography (CT) scan for SRT planning. An MRI-only workflow could reduce the risk of misalignment between the two imaging modalities and shorten the delay of planning. Given the absence of a calibrated electronic density on MRI, the investigators aim to assess the equivalence of synthetic CTs generated by a generative adversarial network (GAN) for planning in the brain SRT setting.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Local Gamma Analysis Passing Rate | Once, at the time of treatment delivery | To be considered as comparable, 2 dose maps must have a Local Gamma Analysis Passing Rate higher than 98%. The primary outcome measure will be to compare the Local Gamma Analysis Passing Rate between the 2 dose maps (one initial dosimetric planification and one dosimetric planification extracted from the synthetic ct scan). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Global Gamma Analysis Passing Rate | Once, at the time of treatment delivery | To be considered as comparable, 2 dose maps must have a Global Gamma Analysis Passing Rate higher than 95%. The primary outcome measure will be to compare the Global Gamma Analysis Passing Rate between the 2 dose maps (one initial dosimetric planification and one dosimetric planification extracted from the synthetic ct scan). |
| Planning Target Volume's coverage values | Once, at the time of treatment delivery | Planning Target Volume's (PTV) coverage values will be compared between the initial dosimetric planification and the dosimetric planification extracted from the synthetic ct scan. |
| Organs at risk Dose Constraints | Once, at the time of treatment delivery | Dose constraints to the Organs at Risks (OAR) will be compared between the initial dosimetric planification and the dosimetric planification extracted from the synthetic ct scan. |
