Radiography (London, England : 1995)

In the United Kingdom fiducial marker IGRT is the second most common verification method employed in radical prostate radiotherapy yet little evidence exists to support centres introducing or developing this practice. We developed a survey to elicit current fiducial marker practices adopted in the UK, to recommend standardisation of practice. ⋯ Variation in fiducial marker practice across the UK is considerable. Standardisation is required to support centres and healthcare professionals developing this service. Seven recommendations, to unify practice, have been proposed based on survey results and literature.
