ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate the different techniques used for liver metastases Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) planning. We especially focused on immobilization devices, motion management and imaging used for contouring.BACKGROUND:
Although some guidelines exist, there is no consensus regarding the minimal requirements for liver SBRT treatments. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We reviewed the main liver metastases SBRT publications and guidelines; and compared the techniques used for immobilization, motion management, margins and imaging.RESULTS:
There is a wide variety of techniques used for immobilization, motion management and planning imaging.CONCLUSIONS:
We provide a subjective critical analysis of minimal requirements and ideal technique for liver SBRT planning.
