Abstract

A system includes acquisition of a three-dimensional computed tomography image of a patient volume at a computed tomography scanner, acquisition of projection images of the patient volume located at an isocenter of a linear accelerator, and determination of a transformation between a coordinate system of the linear accelerator and a coordinate system of the three-dimensional computed tomography image based on the projection images.
