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 t able, which was designed with six degrees of freedom. This design and algor ithm allows complete translational and rotational corrections to be applied to the target volume position on a daily basis.
