Background and purpose: Radiation-therapy methods such as dose painting and image-guided radiation-therapy (IGRT) aim to spare organs at risk by applying improved dose distributions on the tumor. For effective application of these methods, exact positioning of the patient and localization of the planning target volume are vital. We have built a new positioning system which uses tracked three dimensional ultrasound both in the computed tomography (CT) room and the intervention room. A patient study was done and the results were compared to a gold standard. Additionally we present a detailed error analysis for all system components. Methods: At the time of the planning CT scan we acquire three 3D ultrasound images while the US scanhead is tra...
