AB - This work describes a method to obtain “star-shots” of the mechanical and optical isocenters of linear accelerators, similar to the star-shots of radiation isocenters normally obtained using films. In this method a digital camera is connected to a personal computer so that multiply exposed images can be taken at a fixed camera position. A mechanical pointer or a wire aligned along the optical axis can then be imaged by the camera. Multiple exposures at varying gantry angles are then superimposed on a digital image which can be analyzed by the computer to give a high-resolution star-shot. The method provides a convenient way for a linear accelerator quality assurance procedure. © ; 2002 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
