Conclusion: Increasingly, we must be certain of exact localization of tumor targets by using markers and IGRT. The fine-needle marker presented here allows implantation into almost any tumor site with minimal risks of internal bleeding, infection or pneumothorax and can be implanted safely and precisely using guidance with ultrasound or CT. The Gold Anchor™ is […]

Conclusion: The patient positioning using 2D/2D kV and Gold Anchors increases the setup precision and enables to reduce margins. Because the prostate motion during the course of radiotherapy can be significant, margins for the PTV should include the intrafraction prostate mobility. Poster at ESTRO 2010, poster #1674
“Dose reduction potential of using gold fiducial markers for kilovoltage image-guided radiotherapy” Extract from abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of reducing the imaging dose for image-guided radiotherapy by using planar kilovoltage orthogonal imaging and [Gold Anchor] fiducial markers (kV-FM). We tested kilovoltage planar images under clinical imaging conditions for the pelvis (75 […]
