[Patient positioning in radiotherapy with Scotchcast casting tape].
At the Radiotherapeutic Institute of Limburg, the "Scotchcast Casting Tape" has been applied for about two years in the manufacture of individual fixation masks for the treatment of cerebral or ORL tumors. By the application of "Scotchcast", a dose distribution with a higher skin sparing effect is reached than by the application of 2 mm PVC foil as fixation material. The investment costs-as they are necessary for a vacuum device for producing PVC masks or an ultraviolet lamp for producing lightcast II masks-can be neglected.
