title: Shielding block mounting with double-stick tape.
abstract: We describe a system of mounting radiotherapy shielding blocks using a double-stick adhesive tape as an alternative to the screw-and-nut system generally employed. The method is easy to use and eliminates the dose perturbations that are caused by holes or slots in a blocking tray. More than 2 years of experience with this method has demonstrated its reliability in a clinical setting.
