Sumario:PURPOSE: To commission and assess the clinical performance of a new commercial surface imaging (SI) system by analyzing intra‐fraction motion from the initial cohort of patients treated with frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS). METHODS: The IDENTIFY(TM) SI system was commissioned for clinical use on an Edge (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) linear accelerator. All patients who received intracranial radiotherapy with HyperArc(TM) (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) were immobilized with the Encompass(TM) (Qfix, Avondale, PA) thermoplastic mask and monitored for intra‐fraction motion with SI. IDENTIFY(TM) log files were correlated with trajectory log files to correlate treatment parameters with SI‐reported offsets. IDENTIFY(TM) reported offsets were correlated with gantry and couch angles to assess system performance for obstructed and clear camera field of view. Data were stratified by race to evaluate performance differences due to skin tone. RESULTS: All commissioning data were found to meet recommended tolerances. IDENTIFY(TM) was used to monitor intra‐fraction motion on 1164 fractions from 386 patients. The median magnitude of translational SI reported offsets at the end of treatment was 0.27 mm. SI reported offsets were shown to increase when camera pods are blocked by the gantry with larger increases seen at non‐zero couch angles. With camera obstruction, the median magnitude of the SI reported offset was 0.50 and 0.80 mm for White and Black patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: IDENTIFY(TM) performance during fSRS is comparable to other commercially available SI systems where offsets are shown to increase at non‐zero couch angles and during camera pod blockage.
