Medulloblastoma is the most common type of primary intracranial tumor in children. It is a highly malignant and radiosensitive tumor. National treatment protocols outline a very specific simulation procedure with detailed dosimetry to guarantee dose homogeneity. Actual treatment geometry is directly dependent on the reproducibility of patient position. The SMP Alpha Cradle system affords just the precise immobilization needed for daily treatment field reproducibility. A step by step outline of the Alpha Cradle fabrication process is included here; accompanied with diagrams and photographs of our suggested modifications for immobilization of the medulloblastoma patient in the reverse cradle application position.
髓母细胞瘤是儿童最常见的原发性颅内肿瘤类型。它是一种高度恶性且对放疗敏感的肿瘤。国家治疗方案概述了一种非常具体的模拟程序，并配有详细的剂量测定，以确保剂量均匀性。实际治疗的几何形状直接取决于患者体位的可重复性。SMP Alpha Cradle系统提供了日常治疗野可重复性所需的精确固定。此处包含Alpha Cradle制作过程的逐步概述；并配有图表和照片，展示了我们建议的在反向摇篮应用体位固定髓母细胞瘤患者的改进方法。
