Analysis of couch position tolerance limits to detect mistakes in patient setup.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This work investigates the use of the tolerance limits on the treatment couch position to detect mistakes in patient positioning and warn users of possible treatment errors. Computer controlled radiotherapy systems use the position of the treatment couch as a surrogate for patient position and a tolerance limit is applied against a planned position. When the couch is out of tolerance a warning is sent to a user to indicate a possible mistake in setup. A tight tolerance may catch all positioning mistakes while as the same time sending too many warnings; while a loose tolerance will not catch all mistakes. We develop a s...
