Abstract
There is herein provided a method of identifying an isocentre of a radiotherapy apparatus. The method includes capturing illumination of respective dummy point images at rotational positions of a component of the radiotherapy apparatus at an image capture device mounted on the radio-therapy apparatus and deriving the isocentre from the captured dummy point images.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of identifying an isocentre of a radiotherapy apparatus, the method comprising:
- capturing an illumination of respective dummy point images at rotational positions of a component of the radiotherapy apparatus at an image capture device mounted on the radiotherapy apparatus;
- and
- deriving the isocentre from the captured respective dummy point images.
A radiotherapy apparatus comprising:
- an image capture device for capturing isocentre identification data, wherein the radiotherapy apparatus is configured to perform a method of identifying an isocentre of a radiotherapy apparatus, the method comprising:
- capturing an illumination of respective dummy point images at rotational positions of a component of the radiotherapy apparatus at the image capture device mounted on the radiotherapy apparatus;
- and
- deriving the isocentre from the captured respective dummy point images.
