Setup and intra-fractional motion measurements using surface scanning in head and neck cancer radiotherapy– A feasibility study

Background and purpose: Surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) is applied to improve patient set-up and to monitor intra-fraction motion. Head and neck cancer (H&N) patients are usually fixated using 5-point thermoplastic masks, that are experienced as uncomfortable or even stressful. Therefore, the...
