Abstract
An algorithm is presented for determining how to adjust the actuators of a tilt and roll table. The algorithm is based on a geometrical model of the table, which was designed with six degrees of freedom. This design and algorithm allows complete translational and rotational corrections to be applied to the target volume position on a daily basis.Keywords
