2 Disclosures None

3 Objectives Review essential components that characterize SBRT Compare and Contrast different institutional philosophies in regards to the SBRT planning and treatment process Provide information for attendee to form their own opinion on an optimal model for a SBRT program

4 SBRT Components Secure Immobilization Proper Accounting of Internal tumor and organ motion Accurate repositioning Creation of highly conformal dose distributions Registration of patient s anatomy, created dosimetry, and treatment delivery to a 3D coordinate system referenced to fiducials Biologically potent dose prescriptions

5 Secure Immobilization Body Conformal Bags - Vacuum-Lock Bags (+/- Wingboard) - Alpha Cradles

6 Secure Immobilization SBRT Body Frames

7 Accounting for Internal Tumor and Organ Motion Free Breathing ITV based Planning (encompassing entire range of tumor motion) Gating (Targeting a phase of the breathing cycle) Breath Hold Targeting either inhalation or exhalation Tumor Tracking

8 Accounting for Internal Tumor and Organ Motion ITV Based Planning - contour on MIP (maximum intensity projection) Maximum Intensity Projection Maximum Expiration Maximum Inspiration

9 Accounting for Internal Tumor and Organ Motion ITV Based Planning -create ITV based on contours from all 10 Phases
