title: The performance characteristics of a simulator-based CT scanner.
abstract: Computed tomographic (CT) images have been obtained from a modified radiotherapy simulator (the prototype Royal Marsden Hospital ;CT simulator'). The images are suitable for planning radiotherapy treatment in which the treatment volume is a whole organ, such as in the postoperative conservative management of breast cancer. The performance characteristics of the prototype equipment are reported for scanning conditions typical of those encountered in clinical practice.
