Comparing Two Forms of Head Immobilization for Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Patients Receiving Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy, for Brain Tumors

In brief

Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) requires extremely precise and reproducible immobilization of the patient's head. This randomized study compares the efficacy of two commonly used forms of immobilization used for SRT.
