Abstrakt: A report from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands discusses the use of computed tomography (CT) imaging for motion management and surface guidance in radiation therapy. The report presents the results of a survey conducted among medical physics experts at radiotherapy institutions in Belgium and the Netherlands. The survey found that respiratory management is standard practice in most institutions, and surface imaging during CT-simulation is used in some institutions. The report emphasizes the need for clear guidelines for quality assurance procedures and highlights the importance of implementing surface guidance techniques in clinical radiotherapy simulation workflows.
