Out-of-treatment room set-up for patient positioning in external beam radiotherapy
(2009) World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, 2009 p.977-980- Abstract
- The use of a transport system for out-oftreatment room set-up in external beam radiotherapy has been verified. We have looked into the vibrations which a patient is subject to during movement of the trolley as well as the accuracy achieved when using a reclining table for patient set-up and immobilization. The accuracy that can be achieved by the reclining approach is compared to conventional methods currently in use.
