Development of a generic focal spot measurement method suitable for bore‐type linacs
This study developed a novel method to accurately evaluate the x-ray focal spot position of the Radixact system, which can potentially be applied to other conventional linear accelerators and bore-type systems, such as Halcyon, to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy. However, its generalizability and applicability to different radiotherapy machines must be explored further.
