. Adult medulloblastoma (AMB) patients should receive postoperative craniospinal irradiation (CSI) as a standard treatment. Volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is a promising method for CSI.

- The study aimed to assess how a customized ARIA Visual Care Path (VCP) improved quality assurance in the radiotherapy process by tracking errors and incidents.
- The analysis, covering 105 patients from 2019 to 2023, showed a 100% compliance rate among staff and no major incidents, leading to a major incident rate of 0.0%.
- Among the 945 tasks reviewed, 3.8% were classified as minor incidents, mostly related to positioning errors.
Aim: To test inter-fraction reproducibility, intrafraction stability, technician aspects, and patient/physician's comfort of a dedicated immobilization solution for Brain Linac-based radiation therapy (RT).
Methods: A pitch-enabled head positioner with an open-face mask were used and, to evaluate inter- and intrafraction variations, 1-3 Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were performed. Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) was used to evaluate intrafraction variations at 3 time points: initial (i), final (f), and monitoring (m) (before, end, and during RT).
