Open-face masks improved head and neck RT experience without compromising setup accuracy
In the randomized OPEN trial, SGRT-supported open masks maintained setup accuracy while reducing distress and improving treatment experience.

Maskless SGRT improved initial pelvic setup and shortened positioning time
Maskless SGRT reduced initial setup error and cut mean positioning time by about 29% compared with thermoplastic-mask alignment.
Surface-guided radiotherapy supported frog-leg vulvar treatment setup
Surface-guided radiotherapy kept mean setup shifts near zero during frog-leg vulvar volumetric modulated arc therapy.
Thermo-optical surface guidance supported breast deep inspiration breath-hold radiotherapy setup
Thermo-optical surface monitoring with X-ray correction kept breast deep inspiration breath-hold setup errors within clinical tolerance.
Surface scans showed modest average but substantial individual breast deformation during radiotherapy
Mean treated-breast displacement was 1.6 mm, with larger patient-specific changes near treatment completion and during follow-up.
Monocular surface imaging enables real-time breast dose reconstruction
Patient-specific surface imaging reconstructed breast radiotherapy dose with a 93.8% gamma passing rate and 42-millisecond latency without additional imaging radiation.
