Purpose: To compare the inter-observers and inter-modality variation of cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) and Clarity ultrasound (US) for renal metastasis with fiducial markers.
Methods: A renal metastasis case with three gold anchor fiducial markers implanted was seamed by US first followed by four-dimension (4D) CBCT in every fraction. Mid-ventilation phase in CBCT was used for final positioning and treatment. Seven observers retrospectively performed the image registration. Registration variations between observers of these two modalities were evaluated.
Results: The uncertainties in US were 0.8mm, 0.97mm and 1.36mm in X, Y and Z direction respectively while 0.91mm, 1.61mm and 0.88mm were found in CBCT.
Conclusion: Since the US probe scanned in vertical direction, the echo enhancement around the markers was attributed to larger uncertainty in Z direction compared to CBCT. In 4D CBCT, the cranial-caudal movement blurred and elongated the markers in Y direction and resulted in larger uncertainty than in US.
