title: Satellite digital display for the Clinac-18.
abstract: A satellite digital display of the gantry and collimator positions has been mounted on the Clinac-18 console. This module provides simultaneous digital readout of the gantry angle, collimator rotation angle, upper-jaw position, and lower-jaw position. Continuous display of these parameters during the treatment is important in minimizing patient treatment errors.
