One of our linear accelerators is equipped with a free‐movable treatment couch. An additional projects was to develop a system that first protects the free‐movable couch against collisions, secondly build a remote control for moving the couch from outside the treatment room and finally implement this remote control/limitation system in an automatic position algorithm using an electronic portal image. The latter has been the subject of an on‐going departmental investigation on intra‐fractional correction of set‐up errors. A few years ago, we developed a limitation system to protect both the table and the accelerator against collisions. In this paper we describe the second part of this project, the remote control system.
