Methods 32 tumors in 20 patients were treated. Based on the location of tumor dose per fraction given to tumor was divided into three groups 12 Gy 8 Gy and 6 Gy. ABC is applied for every patient. During each treatment patients receive CBCT scan for online set-up correction. The pre- and post-correction setup errors between fractions the interfractional and intrafractional set-up errors PTV margin as well as toxicity are analyzed. Results The pre-correction systematic and random errors in the left-right LR superior-inferior SI anterior-posterior AP directions were mm and mm mm and mm mm and mm respectively while the post-correction residual errors were mm and mm mm and mm mm and mm respectively. There was an obvious intrafractional shift of tumor position. The pre-correction PTV margin was mm in LR mm in SI and mm in AP direction. After CBCT guided online correction the PTV margin was markedly reduced in all three directions. The post-correction margins ranged to mm. The treatment was well tolerated by patients of whom there were 4 20 grade1-2 acute pneumonitis 3 15 grade1 acute esophagitis 2 10 grade1 late pneumonitis and 1 5 grade 1 late esophagitis. Conclusion The positioning errors for lung SBRT using ABC were significant. Online correction with CBCT image guidance should be applied to reduce setup errors and PTV margin which .
