Published Evidence

There are more than 200 peer-reviewed publications reporting studies that involve the use of Vision RT’s technology for SGRT. These span a wide range of indications from brain to breast to sarcoma. In addition, Vision RT supports the SGRT Community, an organization dedicated to education on SGRT by users, for users, which holds biannual meetings and communicates through a dedicated website.  Vision RT’s educational funding has been diverted to the SGRT Community since 2016.

Vision RT technology has been widely researched by numerous users including the some of the most respected centers in radiation oncology. Below you can find a list of the journal papers and conference proceedings that detail the use of the technology.
