CT
The patient is scanned as normal and the CT data may then be exported from the planning system to AlignRT as a DICOM RT structure to be used as a reference image. The reference image can be moved within AlignRT so that the isocentre is moved from the CT isocentre to the Isocentre position as defined by the planning process.
Treatment
The patient is positioned on the treatment couch and a surface image is acquired. This is then matched directly to the CT reference image and coordinates are output in all six degrees of freedom.
