Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the detection accuracy of the AlignRT-InBore system in surface-guided radiation therapy using a phantom and to determine the feasibility of the system by conducting a comparative analysis with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration. The AlignRT-InBore system integrated with the ETHOS Therapy was used. A phantom and a QUASAR phantom were employed to examine the specific areas of interest relevant to clinical cases. The evaluation involved monitoring translations for approximately 30 min and assessing the position detection accuracy for static and moving objects. Fifty clinical cases were used to evaluate the position detection accuracy and its relationship with the localization accuracy of CBCT before treatment. The detection accuracy of static and moving objects was within 1.0 mm using the phantom. However, the longitudinal direction tended to be larger than the other directions. Regarding the accuracy of localization in clinical cases, a strong and statistically significant (p < 0.01) correlation was observed in each direction. A detection accuracy within 1.0 mm is possible for static and moving objects. The detection accuracy of the patient setup using the InBore optical patient positioning system was extremely high, and the patient could be detected with high precision, suggesting its usefulness.
