This is a revolutionary, unique and patented immobilizing device that holds a patient in the prone position to receive radiation treatment of the cranium and the spine with very precise and tight tolerances.
This devices has an adjustable head support frame secured to a height adjustable tower on a base platform for placement atop the treatment couch. The base platform is made of an almond Colorlam panel with an attached foam pad. The superior portion of the foam pad is on a raised platform made of a medical grade phenolic x-ray tabletop material. The space between the base platform and the raised platform easily allows the placement of a verification film cassette under the patient.
This device makes possible the perfect alignment of the cranial and spinal fields, thus achieving near 100% reproducibility with perfect matching fields and gaps. Markings laser positions on mask are necessary for reproducibility.
This device will enable the physician and therapist to achieve a quicker setup of the patient as well as accurately reproducing the treatment position, thus allowing for more efficient treatment in less time. At the same time, it will allow the therapist to palpate the spine and visualize the outer canthus and meatus through the mask cutout, which is crucial for accurately placing the lateral and posterior fields.
