A non-invasive head fixation system is described which is accurately relocatable and enables the transfer of stereotactic positions between a variety of radiodiagnostic images and therapeutic procedures. The system can be simply and repeatedly applied for planning stereotactic radiation therapy from one or more diagnostic images and for repeated treatment with a conventional linear accelerator. In addition, the long-term effects of therapy can be objectively monitored by relocating the frame and repeating images in an identical way, months or years later.
本文描述了一种非侵入性头部固定系统，该系统可精确重新定位，并能够在各种放射诊断图像和治疗程序之间传递立体定向位置。该系统可简单且重复地应用于根据一张或多张诊断图像规划立体定向放射治疗，以及使用传统直线加速器进行重复治疗。此外，通过在数月或数年后以相同方式重新定位框架并重复成像，可客观监测治疗的长期效果。
