Some Concluding Remarks
▪
In radiosurgery often 0-mm margins are being advocated
▪
There will always be residual geometrical uncertainties
▪
Target definition
▪
Errors in image-guidance systems
▪
Indirect measures of tumor position
▪
Always verify the margin algorithm used in the Treatment Planning System
▪
3D margin algorithm (and not 2D)
▪
What is the resolution of the margin algorithm (e.g. CT resolution?)
▪
Verify that margin are not truncated to voxel positions, especially in
the superior-inferior direction
