Abstract
Simulator port films of 22 set-ups of a complex cranial field positioned by radiographers working either at normal or at increased pace were compared with a control film. Analysis showed that accuracy decreased for set-ups achieved at an increased speed, demonstrating risks to treatment outcomes incurred by increasing working speed to meet workload demands.
