As frameless stereotactic radiosurgery increase in use, the aim of this study was to evaluate intra-fraction motion through cone-beam CT (CBCT) and high-definition motion management (HDMM) systems. Intra-fraction motion measured between localization, repeat localization and post-treatment CBCTs were correlated to intra-faction motion indicated by the HDMM files using the Pearson coefficient (r). A total of 302 plans were reviewed from 263 patients (114 male, 149 female); 216 pairs of localization-repeat localization, and 260 localization–post-treatment CBCTs were analyzed against HDMM logs. We found the magnitude of intra-fraction motion detected by the HDMM system were larger than the corresponding CBCT results.
