Intrafractional 6D head movement increases with time of mask fixation during stereotactic intracranial RT-sessions

Intrafractional 6D head movement increases with time of mask fixation during stereotactic intracranial RT-sessions

Abstract Background The present study investigates the intrafractional accuracy of a frameless thermoplastic mask used for head immobilization during stereotactic radiotherapy. Non-invasive masks cannot completely prohibit head movements. Previous studies attempted to estimate the magnitude of intra...
