Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) provides detailed and easily accessible information that simplifies patient setup, allows intra-fraction monitoring and provides a consistent reliable means of Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) treatment. SGRT has proven to decrease setup time and repeat imaging on familiar as well as challenging setups by detecting necessary movements with more precision and accuracy than traditional setup methods. Furthermore, when maximizing the potential of a SGRT system, this tool can increase and enhance safety measures, increase patient satisfaction, and offer an option for a markerless workflow with better accuracy and efficiency than previous marker based setup methods.
