High‐precision localization of radiation isocenter using Winston‐Lutz test: Impact of collimator angle, phantom position, and field size
Oblique opposing collimator angle pairs should be considered to minimize errors in localizing radiation isocenters. Uncertainty in BB positioning could be eliminated if the BB is used as a static reference point in space. The field size had no significant effect on the radiation isocenters. With careful design of WL test parameters and image processing, it is possible to achieve a precision of 0.1 mm in localizing radiation isocenters using WL tests.
