Positioning products are the de facto standard for radiation therapy.
Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) helps precision and
protection of the patient due to its ability to support greater
treatment accuracy.
The value of SGRT for everyday clinical practice
"SGRT is a valuable tool with the potential to increase treatment quality and patient safety in radiotherapy.”
“The role of surface-guided radiation therapy for improving patient safety.” Radiotherapy and Oncology, Volume 163, October 2021, Pages 229-236
SGRT Elevates Patient-Centered Care
SGRT is a tattoo-free alternative for patients who require radiation therapy. The technology uses advanced 3D camera technology to track and monitor patient movements during set-up and treatment.
Enhances Patient Comfort
With the elimination of tattoos and elaborate immobilization products, SGRT helps improve the overall treatment experience.1
Improves Patient Throughput
“An investment worth consideration.”2
Drives Patient Safety
“SGRT could improve safety and treatment quality by preventing errors … as an independent system in the treatment room.”3

SGRT as Standard of Care
SGRT solutions enable applications ranging from tattoo-less patient setup to respiratory-correlated treatment techniques and SRS.
Is Your RT Department Ready for SGRT?
The clinical implementation of SGRT requires a multidisciplinary team, including clinicians, medical
physicists and RTTs. Because the qualified medical physicist (QMP) is responsible for commissioning the system, they become the de facto teacher for other clinicians and the RTTs.
Do you currently have a process to evaluate intrafraction patient motion?
Consider what setups cause the most potential for movement or additional time for setup and how SGRT can help.
Which of the following benefits of SGRT are you aware of?
- Improve the safety of patient care
- Increase the effectiveness of patient care
- Increase the efficiency of patient care
- Enhance patient experience
- All of the above
Are you currently performing SGRT or SRS?
If not, are they on your clinical roadmap? If you are currently performing, would you like to streamline your clinical workflow with SGRT? Consider that SGRT provides higher accuracy and workflow automation.
Are you currently performing DIBH or other gated forms of treatment?
In contrast with most other gating systems, SGRT solutions monitor the respiratory motion without requiring any markers or fiducials to be placed on the patient. General patient motion is also monitored in parallel, thus ensuring maximum patient safety.
Would you like to perform less CBCT and kV imaging while ensuring patient positioning and motion monitoring?
If yes, do you know that SGRT has minimal impact on your schedule and workflow?
When can I add SGRT solutions to my radiotherapy department?
Your department can integrate SGRT into your end-to-end workflow at any time. C-RAD clinical training and implementation makes clinical adoption quick and easy – and compatible with simulation and delivery systems, including most proton and photon treatment machines.
