Using MOLDCARE is helpful for precision and reproducibility for head and neck radiotherapy treatments

This is a research paper using MOLDCARE (HN E, 20cm x 34cm).


This paper states using MOLDCARE leads to great precision and reproducibility for head and head and neck radiotherapy treatments.

"Set-up and Reproducibility Accuracy of a Multipoint System Masks in Head and Head & Neck Cancer Radiotherapy Treatments"
Clara Jover, Jose Carlos Ramírez (Radiophysics Dept). Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital (Granada)

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the precision of the set up and repositioning of the multipoint mask system, using cone-beam CT (CBCT) before the treatment as set-up verification system.

Only 13.33% of the patients presented a displacement greater than 2 mm in any of the axes, with 66.66% of the patients having an average displacement of less than 1.5 mm and the 33.33% less than 1 mm.
