High‐accuracy quality control method of CT system couch tops for treatment planning via an advanced 3D coordinate measuring machine
The developed QC method for the couch tops of CT systems can evaluate the displacement of the couch top and its horizontality and orthogonality to the imaging plane with detailed submillimeter and subdegree accuracy levels. The high-accuracy QC of CT systems can improve the accuracy of irradiation in radiation therapy.
