SGRT: THE NEW ESSENTIAL
How Surface Guided Radiation Therapy transforms efficiency, safety and outcomes
For many clinics, the use of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) is no longer just a “nice-to-have.” This event acknowledges the increasing importance of SGRT and gives radiation oncology professionals like you a chance to learn from, and connect with each other.
For some clinics, SGRT’s contact-free nature has become a key factor in their infection prevention protocols. It has helped others embrace hypofractionation. And many centers have embraced SGRT because of its patient comfort benefits, allowing them to go tattoo and mark-free or ditch rigid, uncomfortable head frames and closed masks in their SRS treatments. In an ever-changing healthcare landscape, SGRT can help improve outcomes and find efficiencies- and these have become more essential than ever
