Abstract
Purpose/Objective: The use of daily online IGRT has revealed deviations in roll, pitch and yaw from the planning CT position. In clinical practise we experience that some patients are good at positioning and some have difficulties. Teaching patients about positioning before start of treatment and staff use of a common language when assisting patients to position themselves might assist patients to adopt a more accurate position and thus reduce the number of repositionings. The purpose of this randomised trial was to test whether teaching patients about positioning would A) improve the precision of the position B) reduce the number of repositionings.
