Evaluation of intrafraction prostate motion tracking using the Clarity Autoscan system for safety margin validation.

CONCLUSIONS: The largest variation of intrafraction prostate displacement was observed along the AP direction. Throughout most of the treatment time, the prostate moved within a few millimeters. The extent of prostate displacement increased for longer monitoring times. During most of the tracking time, the prostate position was within the clinically safety margins.
