Volumetric imaging has now become widely available for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and gantry-mounted systems are poised to substantially alter radiation therapy practice. This module will provide learners with a conceptual introduction to components of IGRT that need to be considered for transition of IGRT into practice – in particular, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The ideal properties of targeting systems for image guidance will be explored, and an overview provided of the strengths and limitations of the currently available image guidance tools will be provided, with a focus on CBCT.
