Clinical implementation of real time motion management for prostate SBRT: A radiation therapist's perspective.

Background And Purpose: The adoption of hypo-fractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for treating prostate cancer has led to an increase in specialised techniques for monitoring prostate motion. The aim of this study was to comprehensively review a radiation therapist (RTT) led treatment process in which two such systems were utilised, and present initial findings on their use within a SBRT prostate clinical trial.

Materials And Methods: 18 patients were investigated, nine were fitted with the Micropos RayPilot (RP) system (Micropos Medical, Gothenburg, SE) and nine were fitted with the Micropos Raypilot Hypocath (HC) system.
