This study evaluated a new frameless stereotactic radiotherapy system. The system demonstrated high accuracy in patient localization, crucial for precise radiation delivery in cancer treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy Technology

Background:

  • Advancements in stereotactic radiotherapy systems enable frameless approaches.
  • Accurate patient localization is critical for effective and safe radiation delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of a new frameless stereotactic radiotherapy system.
  • To evaluate the localization accuracy from CT imaging to patient treatment delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Dosimetry tests were performed on the planning system.
  • Localization accuracy was verified using stereoscopic infra-red cameras and fiducials for frameless relocation.
  • Reproducibility of the frameless relocation method was tested for fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy.

Main Results:

  • Mean accuracy in treatment localization was 1.23 mm for single fraction techniques (max 2.72 mm).
  • Mean accuracy for treatments involving repeated frameless localization was 1.77 mm (max 4.53 mm).

Conclusions:

  • The tested frameless stereotactic radiotherapy system achieves high localization accuracy.
  • The system's accuracy supports its use in single, multiple-fraction, and multi-isocenter radiotherapy techniques.
