One should perform

complete end-to-end tests, including patient

delineation and setup data

to establish the complete treatment chain

accuracy and implement the appropriate CTV-PTV margins accordingly.

A set-up accuracy of approximately 2 mm/1

°

for brain and 1 mm/1

°

for

spine irradiations (1 SD) has been associated with clinically relevant

parameters.

All

current immobilisation systems for brain or spine SBRT can be used

if

properly combined with

on-line

IGRT.

Immobilisation systems associated with larger rotational errors

are not

preferred or

should be combined with a 6DOF couch correction or in

combination with multiple isocenters.
