A retrospective comparison of setup accuracy from CBCT and SGRT data in breast cancer patients
Both cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) are used for breast patient positioning verification before treatment delivery. SGRT may reduce treatment time and imaging dose by potentially reduce the number of CBCT needed. The aim of this study was to compare the displacements resulting in positioning from the Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) 3D and SGRT methods and to design a clinical workflow for SGRT implementation in breast radiotherapy to establish an imaging strategy based on the data obtained.
