protocol
- daily imaging, image analysis, and set-up correction (couch shift)
-

Types of set-up correction protocols
- image analysis
off-line
, i.e. after treatment
- always perform a set-up correction, also if no images acquired
during the fraction
- corrections based on images acquired in previous fractions
-
AIM
: reduction of systematic set-up errors
