Abstract EN
In modern day radiotherapy, the emphasis on reduction on volume exposed to high radiotherapy doses, improving treatment precision as well as reducing radiation-related normal tissue toxicity has increased, and thus there is greater importance given to accurate position verification and correction before delivering radiotherapy.
At present, several techniques that accomplish these goals impeccably have been developed, though all of them have their limitations.
There is no single method available that eliminates treatment-related uncertainties without considerably adding to the cost.
However, delivering “high precision radiotherapy” without periodic image guidance would do more harm than treating large volumes to compensate for setup errors.
In the present review, we discuss the concept of image guidance in radiotherapy, the current techniques available, and their expected benefits and pitfalls.
