Real‐time monitoring and appropriate margin selection in linac‐based prostate SBRT: Analysis of two different intrafraction motion monitoring systems
Both systems exhibited predominant posterior motion, with system B reducing small LNG prostate fluctuations, likely due to probe pressure against the perineum. For fast Linac-based SBRT, intrafraction motion can be managed with 4-5 mm margins without continuous monitoring. However, if 2-3 mm margins are used, real-time monitoring becomes essential.
