Abstract:
A stand designed for the immobilization of patients standing during total body irradiation (TBI) with horizontal 10 MV X rays is described. The stand reduces patient movement and facilitates the initial positioning and repositioning of patients during 11 fractions of TBI over a 3 2/3 day period. Details of design and use are presented. The stand is regularly used to treat TBI patients.
