Voice of Experience
[DIBH] needs to be reproducible, from simulation to treatment, intrafraction, interfraction, and it needs to be accurate and efficient. There are ways of doing it but you want the patient to be comfortable, you want it to be fast, you want it to be effective and you want it to be accurate. Fortunately, there’s Vision RT.
The DIBH treatments with the AlignRT software, as you saw, have been very efficient. There’s no additional time necessary; we easily schedule in 15-minute time slots.
Vision RT decreases both the time of breast setup for right and left breast lesions and has really improved our accuracy.
AlignRT has enabled us to increase patient safety and comfort, as we no longer have to tattoo and mark our patients, as we had to using traditional radiation therapy, to set patients up for daily treatment.
