Used for over 15 years Allows fixation of prostate to reduce intrafraction prostate motion Most (but not all studies) indicate reduction of rectal wall dosimetry Can make volumetric imaging easier to interpret Many proton radiation centers use fixation to reduce risk of rectal toxicity with lateral beam arrangement Requires department wide (MD, nursing, RTT, physics) training
