Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: Brain radiotherapy (cnsRT) requires reproducible positioning and immobilization, attained through redundant dedicated imaging studies and a bespoke moulding session to create a thermoplastic mask (T-mask). Innovative approaches may improve the value of care. We prospectively deployed and assessed the performance of a patient-specific 3D-printed mask (3Dp-mask), generated solely from MR imaging, to replicate a reproducible positioning and tolerable immobilization for patients undergoing cnsRT.
Material and Methods: Patients undergoing LINAC-based cnsRT (primary tumors or resected metastases) were enrolled into two arms: control (T-mask) and investigational (3Dp-mask). For the latter, an in-house designed 3Dp-mask was generated from MR images to recreate the head positioning during MR acquisition and allow coupling with the LINAC tabletop. Differences in inter-fraction motion were compared between both arms. Tolerability was assessed using patient-reported questionnaires at various time points.
Results: Between January 2020 - July 2022, forty patients were enrolled (20 per arm). All participants completed the prescribed cnsRT and study evaluations. Average 3Dp-mask design and printing completion time was 36 h:50 min (range 12 h:56 min - 42 h:01 min). Inter-fraction motion analyses showed three-axis displacements comparable to the acceptable tolerance for the current standard-of-care. No differences in patient-reported tolerability were seen at baseline. During the last week of cnsRT, 3Dp-mask resulted in significantly lower facial and cervical discomfort and patients subjectively reported less pressure and confinement sensation when compared to the T-mask. No adverse events were observed.
Conclusion: The proposed total inverse planning paradigm using a 3D-printed immobilization device is feasible and renders comparable inter-fraction performance while offering a better patient experience, potentially improving cnsRT workflows and its cost-effectiveness.
