Background And Purpose: Standard palliative radiotherapy workflows involve waiting times or multiple clinic visits. We developed and implemented a rapid palliative workflow using diagnostic imaging (dCT) for pre-planning, with subsequent on-couch target and plan adaptation based on a synthetic computed tomography (CT) obtained from cone-beam CT imaging (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: Patients with painful bone metastases and recent diagnostic imaging were eligible for inclusion in this prospective, ethics-approved study.
