Inter- and intrafraction uncertainty in prostate bed image-guided radiotherapy.

PURPOSE The goals of this study were to measure inter- and intrafraction setup error and prostate bed motion (PBM) in patients undergoing post-prostatectomy image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and to propose appropriate population-based three-dimensional clinical target volume to planning target volume (CTV-PTV) margins in both non-IGRT and IGRT scenarios. METHODS AND MATERIALS In this prospecti...

Real-time prostate motion assessment: image-guidance and the temporal dependence of intra-fraction motion

BACKGROUND The rapid adoption of image-guidance in prostate intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) results in longer treatment times, which may result in larger intrafraction motion, thereby negating the advantage of image-guidance. This study aims to qualify and quantify the contribution of image-guidance to the temporal dependence of intrafraction motion during prostate IMRT. METHODS One-h...
