Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for quickly determining misalignment between two images. Patient misalignment calculations can performed on-line using Fourier correlation analysis to compare the location of a portal field of radiation with a previously stored portal reference field. Fourier comparisons are done in both hardware and software which rapidly computes misalignment of a patient relative to the portal field and can also rapidly reposition the patient with respect to that field.
