Leave the ball phantom tool in position and place one end of the alignment ruler in the first pri-
mary slot (the largest one) and the other end in the secondary slot.
Figure 21
Loosen the four screws that hold the patient position mechanism in place and adjust its position
to the left or right until the mechanism is centered.
Figure 22
Make sure that the y-line on the ball phantom is parallel to the line on the underside of the align-
ment ruler. Note that the line on the ball phantom and the line on the alignment ruler do not have
to coincide, but they must be parallel, the deviation may be ±1mm.
Figure 23
Tighten the screws, and remove the alignment pin.
Take another ball phantom picture to check the alignment again. Readjust if necessary.
