Abstract:
Objective:The purpose of this paper is to introduce a method of using compensate angles to eliminate rotation set-up errors without six-degree of freedom couch. Methods: To detect six-degree of freedom set-up errors, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired. These set-up errors were defined as a matrix to transform from accelerator coordinate system to patient coordinate system. Two independent vectors were defined to describe angles of gantry, collimator and couch in accelerator machine. Transformation of vectors were determined by transformation matrix and re-calculated back to the machine angles. Results:It was found that compensate angles can fully corrected the rotation angles in set-up with limited time consuming. It is feasible to implement compensate angles in routinely radiation procedure. Conclusion:With this method, it is possible to implement the complete corrections of set-up errors in radiotherapy without six-degree of freedom couch and it is convenient in operation as well.
