The photo on the top right of the screen is the original xray underneath the xray they took that morning. They take a new xray every single day and compare it to the original and make any adjustments needed. Yesterday the adjustment was 1mm. They can control the table from the control station, so they can adjust it without even going back into the room where Steve is.
You can see the 3 cameras in the top screen that show Steve in the room, so they can monitor everything from the control station.
In these 2 photos, you can see the lasers that they line up to Steve's markings. They align him every morning. They made some permanent tatoos and then he has some semi-permanent markings as well. They line up both sides. You can see how far over the table moves. The base is on the left, but the table moves over to the right so the machine can rotate around underneath. The Xrays go right through the bottom of the table. They move to 9 different angles in order to try to minimize any side effects to the surrounding tissues.
This is what Steve goes through every morning. He's one tough cookie. I sure love that man.
