Patient positioning for radiotherapy of extremities

Patient positioning for radiotherapy treatment of extremities requires a high level of flexibility, but has to be rigid and accurate at the same time. This is exactly what MacroMedics®’ solutions for the radiotherapy treatment of extremities facilitate. The affected hand, foot, knee or elbow can be fixed straight or at an angle in the desired position, using the user friendly thermoplastic masks. Meanwhile, the unaffected limb can be positioned out of the treatment area.
