A system to analyze the geometry of a radiation treatment apparatus,
software, and methods are provided. The system includes an apparatus
having a rotating assembly and a trackable body or plurality of trackable
bodies, to mark a location of a preselected portion of the rotating
assembly. The system also includes a trackable reference fixture and can
include a constant orientation trackable body. A determiner determines
the position and/or orientation of the trackable bodies, the trackable
reference fixture, and constant orientation trackable body. The
determiner then determines the geometry of the treatment apparatus to
analyze a coordinate system used by an operator. The determiner can have
a memory and geometry analyzing software stored in the memory to analyze
the treatment apparatus geometry.
