    A new mesh panel design for radiation therapy tables virtually eliminates sagging. This innovation ensures consistent patient positioning for effective radiation treatments across diverse patient sizes and weights.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Patient positioning is critical in radiation therapy to ensure accurate dose delivery.
    • Conventional treatment table panels can sag under patient weight, compromising positioning accuracy.
    • Existing solutions may be costly or complex to implement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and construction of an improved mesh panel for radiation therapy treatment tables.
    • To address the issue of panel sagging during patient treatments.
    • To provide a practical and effective solution for maintaining treatment table flatness.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed design specifications for the mesh panel construction.
    • Material selection and fabrication processes.
