Sep 10, 2025 · You’ll have a treatment planning procedure called a simulation before you start your radiation treatments. Your radiation therapists will take imaging scans during your simulation.

SBRT plans are highly customized to the target volume(s) and may be geometrically more accurate than conventionally fractionated external beam treatment plans. Three-dimensional image acquisition of …

Jul 25, 2025 · Here a Varian Ethos adaptive-driven CT direct-to-treatment (DtT) multi-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) workflow is presented. This study employed institutional …

A simulation study is performed with computed tomography (CT) prior to the treatment planning. The CT table matches the treatment table and the dataset is then imported into the treatment-planning system.

The simulation process is consistent with the thorax simulation, but often, scans are 4D and use surface guidance because of the tight treatment margins. Please refer to the “ Patient Simulation: Thorax ” …

What happens during a treatment simulation appointment? Before your radiotherapy treatment begins, you will have a “treatment simulation” or “simulation” appointment.

By emptying your bladder and having a bowel movement the same way for each of your simulations and daily radiation treatments, it will allow us to safely deliver your radiation therapy as well as reduce …

Jul 11, 2025 · If a patient has difficulty keeping both arms up, placing one arm down on the contralateral side is acceptable since partial arcs will be used in planning so beams will not cross the contralateral …

After consultation and consent, the CT simulation includes body positioning, imaging, skin marking, and a verification simulation to create a precise treatment plan.
