Abstract

In recent years, alternative methods to dark ink tattoos for patient positioning in radiotherapy have been explored. This review aims to analyse the evidence for alternative strategies to traditional dark tattoos. An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences and SCOPUS. Twenty-one articles out of 383 titles fulfilled the selection criteria and were included in the review. These studies were categorized into tattoo-less methods (n=14), UV ink tattoos (n=4) and other techniques (n=3). In most of the selected articles (n=13) focusing on tattoo-less treatments, SGRT is used for patient positioning. These three alternative techniques to dark tattoos are used in different anatomical regions and treatment modalities, with breast cancer being the most prevalent. Tattoo-less techniques are a promising alternative to traditional tattoo-based methods for patient positioning. They have the potential to improve the patient experience and represent an area of ongoing innovation and improvement.

推进患者设置：放射治疗中无纹身技术的全面综述。

近年来，人们一直在探索放射治疗中病人定位的深色墨水纹身替代方法。本综述旨在分析传统深色纹身的替代策略的证据。我们在 PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane Library、Web of Sciences 和 SCOPUS 中进行了电子检索。在 383 篇文章中，有 21 篇符合选题标准，被纳入综述。这些研究分为无纹身方法（14 篇）、紫外线墨水纹身（4 篇）和其他技术（3 篇）。在大多数关于无纹身治疗的文章（13 篇）中，SGRT 被用于患者定位。这三种替代深色纹身的技术用于不同的解剖区域和治疗方式，其中以乳腺癌最为普遍。在病人定位方面，无纹身技术是传统纹身方法的一种很有前途的替代方法。它们有可能改善患者的就医体验，是一个不断创新和改进的领域。
