ASTRO Industry Sponsored Webinar: SGRT: An Established Tool for Treatment Safety & Emerging Platform for OAR Dose Reduction

January 21, 2026

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) is a widely adopted technology--used in more than 40% of U.S. radiation therapy clinics--and is now a cornerstone of efficient, high-quality treatment delivery and patient safety. Beyond its established strengths in delivering precise patient setups and real-time motion management, emerging applications of SGRT are poised to further enhance clinical outcomes across a variety of disease sites. 

Attendees will gain practical insights into SGRT implementation, learn how to expand beyond traditional use cases, and understand how surface data can contribute to measurable improvements in patient care. 

This activity is available from January 21, 2026, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on May 1, 2026.

 

 

Target Audience

This course is designed to meet the interest of radiation oncologists, radiation physicists and residents.

Attendees will gain practical insights into SGRT implementation, learn how to expand beyond traditional use cases, and understand how surface data can contribute to measurable improvements in patient care. 

Learning Objectives

This webinar will address both current practice and forward-looking developments in SGRT including:

  • Reducing organ-at-risk dose through surface informed planning strategies that improve geometric fidelity and spare normal tissues.
  • Enhancing patient safety by identifying potential setup and delivery errors in real-time via continuous, markerless monitoring. 
  • Streamlining clinical workflows through automation, standardized protocols, and fewer manual interventions.
  • Visualizing dose during delivery to enable earlier detection of deviations and prompt, corrective action.

Speakers

  • Amber Orman, MD, Radiation Oncologist at AdventHealth Celebration, will share her clinical experience integrating SGRT across simulation, planning, treatment delivery, and real-time dose visualization. She will discuss how SGRT implementation has improved patient safety and reduced side effects in her practice. 
  • Mike Tallhamer, DABR, Chief of Radiation Physics at AdventHealth, will review how surface data can be leveraged for a wide range of clinical and operational benefits. Topics will include automated data preparation, time savings, identifying potential dose mis-delivery and optimizing documentation and billing workflows.
