@surftohealth88 Well, anything that adds to the precision of the dosage has got to be a good thing.
I think the newer machines - mine was a Varian TruBeam - incorporate software into that cone beam scan before treatment in order to make these positional adjustments daily; as far as making them ‘dynamic’ - ie, during treatment I don’t think so…
And you know, that article was 21 years old so who knows how far they’ve come?
But if your RO says to do it - and you trust him to know what he’s talking about - you do it. I certainly would !
Best,
Phil

I guess this is just how they do it "here".
Even when we had adjuvant RT consultations with different RO , markers were mentioned. As you say yourself - whatever can possibly help with a precision is probably a good thing 🤷♀️. I will have to go back and listen to notes to refresh my memory about the type of machine, I know that I mentioned IMRT and RO than said actually it is V- "something" , forgive my ignorance *blush. I was trying not to interrupt conversation too much since my husband was asking a lot of questions himself ( which made me very happy to see).
