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”
