“…This particular day, the fusion was based only in bone structures ignoring the surgical clips; this explains the difference. How is post correction verification performed is one of the key issues to consider when using online IGRT [28,29]; therefore, we recommend implementing a systematic approach aimed to periodically evaluate the reproducibility of the evaluation of setup errors.…”

“…( 43 , 44 ) Fiducial implantation is often performed as an out‐patient procedure, with little migration ( 45 ) and clear compatibility with kilovoltage imaging; thus, its value for treating moving targets such as liver tumors far outweighs its cost. Furthermore, the introduction of electromagnetic tracking for these targets could potentially be quite valuable.…”

In the past 10 years, techniques to improve radiotherapy delivery, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for both inter‐ and intrafraction tumor localization, and hypofractionated delivery techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), have evolved tremendously. This review article focuses on only one part of that evolution, electromagnetic tracking in radiation therapy. Electromagnetic tracking is still a growing technology in radiation oncology and, as such, the clinical applications are limited, the expense is high, and the reimbursement is insufficient to cover these costs. At the same time, current experience with electromagnetic tracking applied to various clinical tumor sites indicates that the potential benefits of electromagnetic tracking could be significant for patients receiving radiation therapy. Daily use of these tracking systems is minimally invasive and delivers no additional ionizing radiation to the patient, and these systems can provide explicit tumor motion data. Although there are a number of technical and fiscal issues that need to be addressed, electromagnetic tracking systems are expected to play a continued role in improving the precision of radiation delivery.PACS number: 87.63.‐d
