Cost-benefit analysis of advanced CBCT imaging: Incremental costs and savings

Puntos clave

Advanced CBCT systems can offset additional ownership costs through savings from fewer CT scans used in radiation therapy.
The analysis shows a specific number of adaptive radiotherapy fractions needed to balance the higher initial investment.
Vendor-independent cost-benefit analysis highlights financial implications of adopting advanced CBCT systems over traditional ones.
Understanding ownership costs is crucial for clinical decision-making regarding imaging technology in radiotherapy.

Resumen

Advanced CBCT systems can replace separate CT scans for offline adaptive radiotherapy (RT) but require higher investments costs compared to conventional CBCT systems. Therefore, a vendor-independent cost-benefit analysis was conducted, presenting the number of offline adaptive RT fractions required to offset the additional ownership costs of advanced CBCT systems.
