šļøĀ Nils Temme, MSc,Ā StrahlentherapieĀ RadiologieĀ MĆ¼nchen, Munich, Germany:Ā Clinical versatility of ExacTrac Dynamic Surface in a tattoo-less departmentĀ Ā
šļøOvidio Hernando Requejo, MD, PhD, HMĀ SanchinarroĀ University Hospital, Madrid, Spain: The role of motion management with ExacTrac Dynamic for prostate SBRTĀ
šļøCihan Gani, MD, University Hospital TĆ¼bingen, TĆ¼bingen, Germany:Ā Modern lung SBRT treatments with both real-time adaption and intrafraction motion managementĀ
We look forward to the valuable insights they will present!
From a clinical workflow and technology standpoint, I was wonderingāgiven the geometric limitations in ring gantry systems, is the likely direction toward surface imaging with AI-based prediction, or are there ongoing developments for internal tracking within closed-bore architectures?
What troubleshooting steps do you follow when ExacTrac shows repeated positioning deviations despite correct initial setup?
First of all thank you for this platform.
May i know Sir from your experience, what are the most effective strategies for managing intrafraction motion during SBRT, particularly in spine and lung cases?
Join us in Philadelphia for our Mid-Atlantic Regional Symposium with insightful clinical talks by renowned clinical experts and inspirational discussions on SRS and SBRT.
Experience cutting edge of radiotherapy and radiosurgery at our exciting two days symposium focused on precision, personalization, and standardization in Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
This event will bring together medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation oncologists and radiation therapists to share valuable clinical techniques and innovative management strategies, as well as to gain insights into how complex data is reshaping the field of radiosurgery.

At the University Hospital for Radiation Oncology Innsbruck, prostate cancer treatment is built on precision and teamwork.Ā Treating 15ā20 patients each day, the department has refined an implanted marker workflow that gives clinicians full control over imaging and positioning. Under Professor Ute Ganswindtās leadership, the team has made accuracy a shared focus across every step of care.
The challenge: motion that doesnāt wait -Ā Even in treatments lasting only a few minutes, the prostate can shift without warning. In Innsbruck, this unpredictable movement appeared in one third of monitored sessions. Small deviations could accumulate across a VMAT arc with the potential to affect dose coverage and increase toxicity. To move toward shorter, more efficient treatment schedules, the team needed a way to quantify and correct that motion reliably in real time.
The innovation: an implanted marker workflow built for precision -Ā Using the Brainlab ExacTrac Dynamic implanted marker workflow, the Innsbruck team was able to detect and correct for prostate motion. Continuous X-ray monitoring of fiducial markers helped clinicians maintain target alignment throughout treatment and prevent deviations from building over time. With marker implantation performed directly within the radiation oncology department, the workflow also allowed seamless integration with imaging and planning protocols and ensured strong ownership of each step.
The shift: confidence to move toward ultra-hypofractionation -Ā With precise, reliable motion management in place, the team began transitioning from conventional and moderately hypofractionated regimens to ultra-hypofractionated protocols. Their goal was clear: shorten the overall treatment pathway while maintaining the accuracy necessary to protecting nearby healthy structures and minimizing toxicity. The established collaboration across teams and the efficiency and precision of the implanted marker workflow provided the necessary foundation to make that shift safely.
In their words:Ā āProgress like this only happens when everyone is aligned around the same goal: delivering precise, reliable care for every patient, every day. The collaboration across teams and the efficiency of the implanted marker workflow provided the foundation we needed to make that shift safely.ā ā Dr. Angela Ginestet, Radiation Oncologist, University Hospital for Radiation Oncology Innsbruck.
The impact: precision that supports patient-centered treatments -Ā A recent evaluation from the University Hospital for Radiation Oncology Innsbruck confirmed that the implanted marker workflow with ExacTrac Dynamic accurately identified and corrected clinically relevant motion during prostate treatments. For a department committed to delivering precise care at high daily volumes, this capability is helping shape a future where shorter treatment schedules can coexist with uncompromised accuracy.
