Estimation of patient setup uncertainty using BrainLAB Exatrac X‐Ray 6D system in image‐guided radiotherapy
The purpose of this study was to evaluate setup uncertainties for brain sites with ExacTrac X-Ray 6D system and to provide optimal margin guidelines. Fifteen patients with brain tumor were included in this study. Two X-ray images with ExacTrac X-Ray 6D system were used to verify patient position and tumor target localization before each treatment. The 6D fusion software first generates various ...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of patient setup uncertainty of stereotactic radiotherapy with the frameless 6D ExacTrac system using statistical modeling
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient setup accuracy and quantify indi-vidual and cumulative positioning uncertainties associated with different hardware and software components of the stereotactic radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) with the frameless 6D ExacTrac system. A statistical model is used to evaluate positioning uncertainties of the different components of SRS/SRT treatment with the Br...
متن کاملDosimetric effects of positioning shifts using 6D‐frameless stereotactic Brainlab system in hypofractionated intracranial radiotherapy
Dosimetric consequences of positional shifts were studied using frameless Brainlab ExacTrac X-ray system for hypofractionated (3 or 5 fractions) intracranial stereo-tactic radiotherapy (SRT). SRT treatments of 17 patients with metastatic intracranial tumors using the stereotactic system were retrospectively investigated. The treatments were simulated in a treatment planning system by modifying ...
متن کاملStudy of ExacTrac X‐ray 6D IGRT setup uncertainty for marker‐based prostate IMRT treatment
Novalis Tx ExacTrac X-ray system has the 6D adjustment ability for patient setup. Limited studies exist about the setup uncertainty with ExacTrac X-ray system for IMRT prostate treatment with fiducial markers implanted. The purpose of this study is to investigate the marker-based prostate IMRT treatment setup uncertainty using ExacTrac 6D IGRT ability for patient setup. Forty-three patients wit...
