Simplified “on‐couch” daily quality assurance procedure for CT simulators

For most computed tomography (CT) simulators, radiation therapists must first remove the fat couch top in order to perform daily CT quality assurance (QA), and then use separate tools to perform localization‐laser QA. This process wastes time and effort, and creates the opportunity for accidents to...
