Abstract

ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the use of this new technique, surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT), for patient setup and motion management in various cancers. Materials and Methods: Data was collected from 533 patients, who received treatment in our hospital for various malignancies using SGRT from October 2019 to April 2021. We studied patient setup, interfraction position, and patient position during the breath-hold (BH) technique. The main advantage of SGRT is that, it is completely non-invasive and uses visible light to compare the patient’s skin surface in the treatment room and planned treatment position. In this analysis, Monaco 5.51.10 (Elekta) treatment planning system, Versa HD Linear Accelerator, and AlignRT 6.2 (Vision RT) SGRT system were used. Results: With SGRT, treatment setup time can be reduced with more precision and techniques like Deep inspiration breathhold (DIBH) can be done with very good compliance. Conclusion: SGRT has shown improved accuracy in patient setup compared to conventional laser setup. The daily kilo voltage imaging frequency can be reduced; it helps in reducing additional radiation exposure due to imaging. SGRT has demonstrated reproducibility with adequate accuracy in BH treatments in DIBH for breast and SBRT.
