Physics - Intra-fraction motion management and real-time adaptive radiotherapy

ESTRO 2025

Conclusion: By replacing traditional face masks with SGRT and a dorsal mask, we can offer H&N cancer patients a more comfortable radiotherapy treatment experience without sacrificing the accuracy in patient positioning and intrafraction motion.

Keywords: SGRT, head nad neck cancer, maskless
