Abstract
To evaluate quantitative positioning errors of frameless stereotactic radiation therapy with a fusion of computed tomography (CT) and linear accelerator unit, Z-type CT markers were attached to patients, and CT images were obtained before and after daily treatment. In 40 verification tests, geometrical errors were never more than 1 mm.
