Abstract

|
|
|
| One of our linear accelerators is equipped with a free-movable treatment couch. An additional projects was to develop a system that first protects the free-movable couch against collisions. secondly build a remote control for moving the couch from outside the treatment room and finally implement this remote control/limitation system in an automatic position algorithm using an electronic portal image. The latter has been the subject of an on-going departmental investigation on intra-fractional correction of set-up errors. A few years ago, we developed a limitation system to protect both the table and the accelerator against collisions. In this paper we describe the second part of this project, the remote control system. (C) 2001 American Association of Physicists in Medicine. |
