Conclusion: Positioning of the target with orthogonal images or CBCT with the Gold Anchor fiducial marker insertion is intuitive and easily accomplished for safe positioning. Excellent accuracy and precision can be achieved without the need of positioning patients in stereotactic whole body frames. The total cost of treatments with the Gold Anchor technique is less than with the use of the stereotactic coordinate set up due to less time needed in the treatment room and for preparations. However, a fixation system may be essential to minimize body movements during treatment.
