Abstract

Abstract: We evaluated setup accuracy of NovalisBody stereoscopic X-ray positioning with automated correction for rotational errors with the Robotics Tilt Module in patients treated with conformal arc radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The correction of rotational errors was shown to reduce random and systematic errors in all directions. (NovalisBody™ and Robotics Tilt Module™ are products of BrainLAB A.G., Heimstetten, Germany).
