James Nguyen, Director of Sales Asia Pacific at C-RAD AB, shared on LinkedIn:
“Day 1 at JASTRO. Great to showcase the fantastic work of Medical Physicist Shinobu Kumagai, presenting:
‘Evaluation of Setup Accuracy for Clothed-based Breast Irradiation using C-RAD AB and Elekta solutions.’
Always impressive to see the depth of clinical data collected to demonstrate and validate setup accuracy when using clothing-based positioning for breast radiotherapy.
An excellent example of how clinical evidence and innovative SGRT solutions can help support alternative patient positioning approaches, while maintaining accuracy and confidence in treatment delivery.
Proud to see C-RAD AB solutions contributing to ongoing clinical research and innovation in Japan.
More to come on Day 2.”
What is SGRT (Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy)?

Main benefits:
- Improves patient positioning accuracy.
- Reduces dependence on skin marks and tattoos.
- Monitors patient movement in real time.
- Helps with breathing techniques such as DIBH.
- Can improve patient comfort and treatment workflow.
