    Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) enhances treatment efficiency by adapting plans to patient anatomy immediately before treatment.

  • 2

    Concerns about prolonged treatment times may hinder oART implementation, necessitating optimized workflows and staff training.

  • 3

    MR-guided systems offer excellent soft-tissue contrast but often result in longer sessions compared to CBCT-guided systems.

  • 4

    Automated posterior rectal wall contouring significantly reduces adaptation time, improving the efficiency of the oART workflow.

  • 5

    Upgrading to Varian HyperSight enhances image quality and acquisition speed, further streamlining the adaptation process in oART.
