About

This is a single-center, single-arm observational study in which the investigators aim to develop an advanced motion control system for head stabilization in patients undergoing whole brain radiation therapy.

Full description

Standard of care treatment is to be immobilized with a mask for whole brain radiation therapy. The purpose of this study is to develop a process to track and correct a person's head movements in real time during radiation treatment. To do this, the investigators will use a mask and head holder connected to a robotic support platform which can make small movements of the head holder.

Sex: All

Head Stabilization

Experimental group

Description:

Real-time patient head stabilization during radiation therapy will be performed using a specially designed patient mask and head holder that are connected to a robotic patient support platform (Freedom Pursuit Robotic Platform, CDR Systems, Canada) that will use real-time 3D surface data from the AlignRT system (3D surface imager) as an input and will perform small sub-millimeter corrections.
