Daily soft tissue IGRT with reduced anisotropic margins for post-prostatectomy radiotherapy has been successfully implemented. RTs performed better with real-time online matching than they did in offline training, perhaps influenced by having several RTs perform online matching. Daily soft tissue IGRT did not prolong treatment time.
