    Main Methods:

    • A new alignment technique is described.
    • The process involves aligning the light field with the radiation field to create a permanent template.

    Main Results:

    • The presented technique allows for rapid and accurate alignment.
    • The resulting permanent template minimizes machine downtime during treatment days.

    Conclusions:

    • This technique offers an efficient solution for light field-radiation field alignment.
    • The use of a permanent template significantly reduces operational interruptions in radiation therapy.
