Compatibility assessment of Varian and Elekta robotic couch‐assisted six‐dimensional patient positioning correction systems with external independent imaging modalities
Abstract:Aim
This study aimed to evaluate the compatibility of robotic couch‐assisted six‐dimensional (6D) patient positioning systems with gantry‐mounted and in‐room independent imaging modalities in two different accelerators.
Materials and Methods
Imaging and 6D patient setup workflow were evaluated for both machines. The imaging workflow consists of onboard (OBI) cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and in‐room ExacTrac imaging to evaluate setup errors. Setup images were acquired using CBCT, and positional … Show more
