Novel modified patient immobilisation device with an integrated coil support system for MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy in the management of brain and head-and-neck tumours

Magnetic resonance imaging (MR)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy is a promising technique in the field of radiation oncology providing excellent visualisation of soft-tissues, and allowing for online plan adaptation and tumour tracking. In order to facilitate the accurate dose delivery to the tar...

In order to facilitate the accurate dose delivery to the target volume while sparing healthy surrounding normal tissue in the brain or head-and-neck (H&N) region, precise patient immobilisation with good image quality is pertinent.
