“…This value is comparable to results of the other studies 0.91 ± 0.3 mm for 2 mm slice and 1.58 ± 0.5 mm for 4 mm slice. Our results are slightly agreed with study done by Choi et al (2001), the resulting error was 0.91 ± 0.3 mm for 2 mm slice thickness used compare to our study which is 1.1 ± 0.4 mm for 2.4 mm slice thickness. From this study, it is found that an increase in slice thickness may affect in the inferior-superior (vertical) direction.…”

“…As the accuracy of CT localization is directly related to three dimensional (3D) image resolution. Choi et al (2001) also reported that, in geometric phantom test, a 3 mm slice was used and the resulting error was 1.2 ± 0.5 mm. This value is comparable to results of the other studies 0.91 ± 0.3 mm for 2 mm slice and 1.58 ± 0.5 mm for 4 mm slice.…”

“…The reproducibility of the LS in patient studies has proved to be less than 1 mm [ 10 , 11 , 15 ]. The GTC frame has in two recent studies shown a reproducibility with a mean error of 1.7 and 1.8 mm [ 12 , 16 ]. The reproducibility and accuracy of the Fixster frame in a clinical treatment situation has not been described previously.…”

“…Other stereotactic frames used for fractionated radiotherapy are the Laitinen stereoadapter (LS) and the Gill-Thomas-Cosman frame (GTC). These frames have reported a high level of reproducibility with a geometrical accuracy of less than 1 mm for the LS [ 10 , 11 ] and a overall accuracy of 1.7 ± 0.7 mm for the GTC [ 12 ]. In the case of the Fixster system there is no study that has investigated the accuracy of the frame regarding reproducibility in a clinical treatment situation.…”
