Enhancing Pre-Treatment Verification And Setup Confidence

The Clinical Challenge

Even with advanced image guidance, there can be a gap between imaging and treatment delivery. For complex setups, patient anatomy changes, or limited surface anatomy, therapists may have limited visibility of how the planned beam geometry relates to the patient’s position before treatment begins.

The Solution

Beam Guide extends AlignRT beyond setup and monitoring by displaying the planned beam geometry directly on the patient’s live surface. This provides therapists with real-time visual confirmation of treatment positioning before and during beam delivery.

Clinical Observations

Improved Confidence in Setup

Visualized potential breast coverage issues caused by treatment-related swelling before imaging.
Enabled setup adjustments that improved positioning and helped avoid additional imaging.

Adaptation to Patient Changes

Supported treatment of a patient whose mobility had changed after simulation.
Helped ensure anatomy remained outside the treatment field without requiring a rescan or replan.

Enhanced Situational Awareness

Identified an incorrect patient position in a challenging abdominal case with limited surface anatomy.
Allowed corrections before imaging and treatment delivery.

Key Outcome

Across all evaluated cases, Beam Guide helped clinicians identify and correct positioning concerns before imaging, reducing the need for additional imaging, minimizing time on the treatment couch, and increasing confidence in treatment delivery.

“AlignRT Beam Guide provides an additional layer of visual verification, helping teams deliver radiation treatments with greater confidence, eﬃciency, and accuracy.”
