Before I’m treated with Body Surface Imaging Therapy Navigation System decided by my radiologist, has anyone seen or heard of this System? It’s going to be directed at my right pelvic area and prostate. If yes, please let me know its features like how accuracy it is, etc. The radiologist said it is newly developed. Moreover, what radiotherapy is best for prostate cancer in the prostate and pelvic area? Thanks for your input.

I think this is it, scanning your body optically and using this to position the radiation beam. Then if you move during radiotherapy, this can be corrected for.
“In recent years, the clinical use of Surface Guided Radi- ation Therapy (SGRT) using optical surface scanning for patient positioning, intra-fraction motion monitoring and respiratory gating techniques has increased.”
