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”
