TrueBeam radiation treatment system

ngershon

Is the TrueBeam system accurate enough for treatment if no fiducials and no hydrogel are used as my radiation oncologist recommends. I don’t think it does real time monitoring and adjusting for position changes during a session?

Hi,

It sounds like Truebeam is an X-ray based external beam. The beam even though lower in intensity than Cyberknife still goes into body tissue past the cancer. You might want to get a second opinion on the hydrogel to protect tissue and organs past the cancer site.
