The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the pre-treatment daily imaging system with the Brainlab ExacTrac X-Ray 6D for patients in hypofractionated intracranial treatments and radiosurgery procedures in order to quantify setups errors and review margins used by the institution in the current planning protocol. The deviations generated in the translational and rotational coordinates were given in terms of the mean values and their respective standard deviations. The random and systematic errors were determined through the Stroom and Wang relation and 36 patients treated with intracranial hypofractionated radiosurgery from August 2015 to October 2016 were evaluated. The prescribed dose was 25-30 Gy in 5 fractions for 30 patients and 12-18 Gy in a single fraction for 6 patients. The calculated margin for the planning target volume (PTV) from the deviations analyzed was 1.3mm, consistent with that adopted by the institution. When the correlation between the volume of the PTV, vector and its respective loss of coverage is evaluated and a tendency can be observed for smaller volumes to suffer greater losses in coverage when the isocenters were displaced with the resulting margins. We can suggest that for volumes smaller than 2.6 cm3, margins greater than 1 mm are required in order to guarantee the expected coverage of the PTV.
