Abstract_ Background The reproducibility of patient setup for radiotherapy is based on various methods including external markers X-rays with planar or computerized image acquisition and more recently surface matching imaging. We analyzed the setup reproducibility of 16 patients affected by prostate cancer who underwent conformal radiotherapy with curative intent by using a surface image registration system. Methods We analyzed the setup .
