Adaptation of a relocatable head frame for stereotactic radiotherapy.

摘要

An important role of the maxillofacial prosthodontist is to support the radiotherapist in the administration of therapy. For example, a device can be made that properly and repeatedly positions the patient for each radiation treatment. This article describes a procedure for adapting a relocatable head frame to be used during stereotactic radiotherapy, a treatment modality for malignant intracranial tumors.
