Defines a consistent set of coordinate systems for use throughout the process of teleradiotherapy, to enable equipment to be re-aligned with a previously treated site. The Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 1217:1996.

This International Standard applies to EQUIPMENT and data related to the process of TELERADIOTHERAPY, includingPATIENT image data used in relation with RADIOTHERAPY treatmentplanning systems, RADIOTHERAPY SIMULATORS, ISOCENTRIC GAMMA BEAM THERAPY EQUIPMENT, ISOCENTRIC MEDICAL ELECTRON ACCELERATORS, and non-ISOCENTRIC EQUIPMENT when relevant.The object of this standard is to define a consistent set of coordinate systems for use throughout the process of TELERADIOTHERAPY, to define the marking of scales (where provided), to define the movements of EQUIPMENT used in this process, and to facilitate computer control when used.
