Abstract

With daily portal images and repeated CT scans from 20 patients with gold markers (GM) an adaptive margin radiotherapy strategy (AMRT) was simulated and compared to traditional bony anatomy (BA) and standard GM verification protocols. AMRT is comparable with BA. GM protocols are superior.
