Session

Overview: Positioning and immobilisation are fundamental steps in the RT patient pathway, uniquely vital for ensuring treatment reproducibility and precision. RTT experts will argue for and against the proposition considering traditional immobilisation strategies in light of advancements such as Surface-Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT), particle therapy, and online ART. Proponents argue that modern technologies and techniques reduce reliance on rigid immobilisation, enhancing patient comfort and experience. Opponents caution against abandoning these proven methods, emphasizing the risks of excess external and internal motion and misalignment without robust positioning systems. Join this engaging session as we discuss the evolving role of immobilisation in RT and its implications for patient care and daily practice.
