Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) is a rapidly growing technique that uses stereo vision technology to track patients’ surface in 3D, for both setup and motion management during radiotherapy. Surface Guided Radiation Therapy can be used for many types of radiation therapy. There are numerous publications that support its use in the treatment of breast, brain, head and neck cancer, sarcoma, and other conditions.
Introduction to Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)

A recent study 3 showed that AlignRT + DIBH effectively prevented radiation-induced abnormalities in blood flow to the heart. Of the breast cancer patients treated, 0% showed these abnormalities after six months. This compares to a previous study without AlignRT or DIBH, where 27% of patients showed new abnormalities in blood flow to the heart 6 months after radiation therapy 4 . Additionally, there are more than 10 publications that demonstrate the accuracy of the technique.
