AAPM TG 179: SBRT Requirements
▪
SBRT is characterized by the accurate delivery of high doses of radiation in
five or fewer fractions
▪
The relatively high dose per fraction increases the potential for normal
tissue damage or serious target underdosing
▪
The AAPM TG 101 recommends the use of image guidance for all SBRT
treatments to eliminate the risk of a geometric miss
▪
AAPM TG 179: “Perhaps, the most important application of CBCT has been
the simplification of hypofractionated, SBRT”
