[Individual face masks as aids in quasi-3-D planning and completion of irradiation of tumors of the head and neck].
Apparatus for immobilizing the patient's head in an identically reproducible position is required, if the advantages of exact quasi-3-D-therapy planning are to be fully exploited for the irradiation of irregular target volumes in the head and neck area. The topics of this report are the production and application of individual thermoplastic masks in connection with special head supports for CT planning scans, simulation and irradiation.
