Results

We started the trial in June 2024 and reached the target number of five cases in September. In all cases, radiotherapy planning using dCT was possible and irradiation was performed. The primary endpoint, the radiotherapy completion rate, was 100%.
The secondary endpoint, TIC, averaged 45 minutes and the rate of Grade 2 or higher acute adverse events was 0%.
