Comparison of geometrical uncertainties in the radiotherapy for various treatment sites with two different immobilization marking methods.

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows no significant difference in patient setup errors for various treatment sites between SMM and BFRM in general. SMM may be suitable for the pelvic tumor and patients with BMI < 18.5 or BMI≥24, while BFRM is recommended for the abdominal tumor sites. PMID: 31227680 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
