Implementation of Respiratory Gating Module (AlignRT, VisionRT)

Stage

Clinical Implementation — Ongoing (First patient treated in September 2025 — first hospital in Switzerland to adopt this technology)

Role

Co-Project Leader — Protocol Development, Staff Training, Feedback Gathering, Workflow Optimisation

Overview

This project focuses on the introduction of Respiratory Gating technology using AlignRT from VisionRT — a key innovation designed to improve treatment precision for thoracic and abdominal tumours affected by respiratory motion.

Key Objectives

Improve accuracy for tumour sites influenced by breathing motion

Enhance precision in inspiration and expiration breath-hold (BH) techniques

Support seamless clinical integration through training and workflow refinement

Update and optimise protocols based on real-time feedback and evaluation

Potential Impact

Increase treatment accuracy and reproducibility in motion-managed radiotherapy

Improve patient safety and comfort through motion-adapted techniques

Establish a benchmark for respiratory gating adoption in Switzerland

Results

Pending — currently in the implementation and evaluation phase, with early results indicating improved workflow efficiency and strong user adaptability across the clinical team.
