Abstract

Variation in the table height position for 175 treatments of 167 patients was calculated as a measure for day-to-day set-up precision in 2063 treatment sessions and resulted in a median standard deviation of 1 mm. The median standard deviations of table longitudinal and lateral position were 3 and 5 mm, respectively.
