“…To date, limited trials of on‐line setup correction have been performed. Early studies of visual assessment of portal images followed by manual setup adjustment 1 indicated that both the speed and final accuracy were prohibitive to routine on‐line use of this technology. Trials using image alignment software and a remote couch pendant 2 , 3 showed improved setup accuracy and validated the benefits of quantitative image alignment tools, although treatment times were still dramatically increased using these tools.…”

A study was performed to determine the relative advantage of computer‐controlled couch movement versus manual repositioning to correct patient setup error measured using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID). Twenty‐eight on‐line setup adjustment trials of anterior‐posterior (AP) pelvic projections were evaluated, with 13 setups corrected by automated couch movement determined by direct feedback from the EPID image alignment tool and 15 setups manually corrected based on the transformation displayed from the same tool. The speed of setup adjustment and accuracy of corrected setup were determined. Computer controlled setup adjustment was determined to be faster (25.4 s versus 101.9 s) and slightly more accurate (1.8 mm versus 2.5 mm error in adjusted setup) than manual correction.PACS number(s): 87.57.–s, 87.53.–j

Understanding the physical and technical factors affecting image characteristics is an essential learning task in the process of optimizing radiographic image quality. The goal of the present effort is the design of a stand-alone software application acting as an educational aid to radiology residents and radiographers. The application is organized in three modules, each one offering a different approach to the learning task. The core of the system is a hypertext database management system composed of text, digitized radiographs, graphics and animations. User orientation, linking, indexing, and annotation are some of the facilities offered in pursuing topics of interest.
