In 2020, Brainlab installed new ExacTrac Dynamic Patient Positioning and Monitoring systems at UZ Brussel. The system’s deep integration with most linear accelerators enables thermal-surface triggered beam gating and repositioning. ExacTrac IGRT has always been the gold standard in frameless cranial, and high-precision spine stereotactic radiosurgery, enabling ablative treatments with minimal target margins.
With the introduction of the DIBH workflow, Brainlab is delivering the power of integrated IGRT to radiation therapy treatments for breast cancer patients. “We implemented this new workflow over the course of a few days,” explained Prof. Thierry Gevaert, Coordinator of the Medical Physics Radiotherapy Department at UZ Brussel. “The use of surface guided technology generates a more stable breathing curve compared to traditional surrogate marker technology. And the system’s X-Ray imaging allows for fast and low-dose internal anatomy verification at breath hold. The accurate triggering and correlation of anatomical verification with ExacTrac kV imaging will be the key differentiator to further margin reduction in breast radiotherapy.”
