An immobilization system for claustrophobic patients in head-and-neck intensity-modulated radiation therapy
S Kim, HC Akpati, JG Li, CR Liu, RJ Amdur… - International Journal of …, 2004 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of an immobilization treatment system used for
claustrophobic patients in head-and-neck intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Instead of the thermoplastic facemask, the Vac Fix (S & S Par
Scientific, Odense, Denmark) mold is used for immobilization of claustrophobic patients at
the University of Florida in head-and-neck IMRT. The immobilization procedure combines
the use of commercial stereotactic infrared (IR) ExacTrac camera system (BrainLAB, Inc …
