Welcome to the SGRT Community!
Overview
Welcome to the SGRT Community—a space for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to connect, share insights, and discuss all things related to Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)!
Our Mission
The SGRT Community’s mission is to facilitate a radiation oncology peer-to-peer environment of clinical professionals working together to adopt and promote best practices of SGRT across all applicable indications to ensure quality patient care.
The SGRT Community provides a forum to exchange best practices, share treatment ideas and results, ask questions and get feedback, and stay up-to-date on industry events. We work diligently to facilitate knowledge sharing through hosting educational events that are focused on the newest innovations in SGRT. If you are interested in attending educational events, webinars, or annual meetings, please visit the Upcoming Meetings page on our website.

What is Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)?
SGRT involves the use of camera systems to track surface data, providing more guidance across every step of the RT workflow. The goal of SGRT is to improve the safety, efficiency, and efficacy of external beam radiation oncology across the entire Radiation Therapy workflow.
SGRT is used clinically during simulation, treatment planning, and treatment delivery. Newer applications of SGRT allow for dose visualization at the time of treatment.
Key applications include:
- The use of surface guidance to enable contactless 4DCT scans and coach and monitor breath-hold CT.
- The use of surface guidance to enable accurate patient setup and real-time motion management.
- The use of surface guidance to provide a full-body contour of the patient, enabling accurate collision checks during treatment planning and potentially improving the treatment plans.
- The use of surface guidance combined with Cherenkov imaging to visualize the radiation dose during treatment delivery, enabling real-time dose detection.
