摘要: An apparatus and method for aligning a radiosurgery/stereotactic radiotherapy system. The system includes linear accelerator, including gantry collimator, couch, stereotactic reference mounted on the couch. laser measuring device gantry, having generator element generating light beam displacement sensor. also fixture, attached to system, at least one reflective surface reflecting sensor, upon which sensor measures distance between device.
