Abstract:

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) is a rapidly growing technique that uses stereo vision technology to track patients’ surface in 3D, for both setup and motion management during radiotherapy.

This presentation will explore how SGRT can be utilized throughout the radiotherapy pathway, and look at its positive impacts on treatment accuracy, workflow efficiency and patient comfort. Speakers will cover:

SGRT in use from simulation through to treatment
The role of SGRT in enabling precise treatments without the need for tattoos or marks, or in the case of head & neck patients, without the traditional mask
The effectiveness of non-coplanar treatments, and how surface guided planning tools can enable these treatments to be effectively introduced into routine clinical use
The significance of beam hold latency in treatment delivery

The principles of Cherenkov imaging, and how SGRT technology can combine with Cherenkov Imaging to provide real-time visualization of dose delivery and patient positioning, therefore preventing errors and improving clinical outcomes.

Learning objectives:

Investigate the latest advancements in Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) and its evolving role in radiotherapy.
Explore the challenges and opportunities in pushing the boundaries of SGRT technology in clinical practice, and hear about its potential to improve treatment accuracy and patient outcomes across the whole RT pathway
Discuss the advantages and positive impacts of SGRT in terms of patient positioning, patient comfort, treatment accuracy, and workflow efficiency.
Understand the basic principles of visualizing dose with Cherenkov imaging, and how this can enhance patient safety
Learn how non-coplanar treatments for various cancer sites can enhance clinical outcomes, whilst understanding how Surface guided planning tools can enable these treatments to be effectively introduced into routine clinical use.
