Paediatric CBCT protocols for image-guided radiotherapy; outcome of a survey across SIOP Europe affiliated countries and literature review

CONCLUSION: Although daily CBCT is now widely used in paediatric IGRT, our survey demonstrates a wide range of technical settings, suggesting an unmet need to optimise paediatric IGRT protocols. This is in accordance with the literature. However, there are only few paediatric optimisation studies suggesting that dose reduction is possible while maintaining image quality.PMID:38406888 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109963
