title: Rapid method for determination of isocenter of radiation gantry and alignment of laser beams for stereotactic radiosurgery.
abstract: A simple technique has been designed which identifies the gantry isocenter and aligns the laser beams to the isocenter of the gantry within 3-5 min with an error of less than 0.75 mm, depending upon the accuracy of gantry rotation.
