Feasibility of patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) for real-time robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) based on tumor motion traces.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo design a patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) process for the CyberKnife Synchrony system and quantify its dosimetric accuracy using a motion platform driven by patient tumor traces with rotation.
methodsThe CyberKnife Synchrony system was evaluated using a motion platform (MODUSQA) and a SRS MapCHECK phantom. The platform was programed to move in the superior-inferior (SI) direction based on tumor traces. The detector array housed by the StereoPhan was placed on the platform. Extra rotational angles in pitch (head down, 4.0° ± 0.15° or 1.2° ± 0.1°) were added to the moving phantom to examine robot capability of angle correction during delivery. A total of 15 Synchrony patients were performed SBRT PSQA on the moving phantom. All the results were benchmarked by the PSQA results based on static phantom.
resultsFor smaller pitch angles, the mean gamma passing rates were 99.75% ± 0.87%, 98.63% ± 2.05%, and 93.11% ± 5.52%, for 3%/1 mm, 2%/1 mm, and 1%/1 mm, respectively. Large discrepancy in the passing rates was observed for different pitch angles due to limited angle correction by the robot. For larger pitch angles, the corresponding mean passing rates were dropped to 93.00% ± 10.91%, 88.05% ± 14.93%, and 80.38% ± 17.40%. When comparing with the static phantom, no significant statistic difference was observed for smaller pitch angles (p = 0.1 for 3%/1 mm), whereas a larger statistic difference was observed for larger pitch angles (p < 0.02 for all criteria). All the gamma passing rates were improved, if applying shift and rotation correction.
conclusionsThe significance of this work is that it is the first study to benchmark PSQA for the CyberKnife Synchrony system using realistically moving phantoms with rotation. With reasonable delivery time, we found it may be feasible to perform PSQA for Synchrony patients with a realistic breathing pattern.
