In the SBRT technique, which is mostly used in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, controlling tumor movement, repeatability, and anatomical position is very important in order to preserve surrounding healthy tissues and achieve the highest radiation dose to the tumor. In addition, the use of vacuum bags and cushions in the aforementioned equipment is very widely used and important to give the desired position to the treatment area and also to stabilize it. Another reason for updating radiotherapy fixation and immobilization equipment is the comfort of the patient during the treatment period, the ease of positioning and fixation of the patient by the therapist for better treatment results.

It is a strong and lightweight carbon fiber plate that has minimal radiation exposure and is placed under the patient’s body to maintain their position during radiation treatment with the help of thermoplastics.
Head support is a device for precise stabilization of the patient’s head during radiotherapy, with an ergonomic design and the use of lightweight and resistant materials. This device allows for precise and repeatable positioning to increase radiation accuracy and maintain patient comfort.
Indexbars are responsible for fixing equipment on the radiotherapy bed and are selected according to the type of each device and are divided into three categories: Universal, For Elekta, and For Varian.
A strong, breathable mouthpiece. It is attached to the patient’s mouth using a quick-release toothpaste, making it safe and comfortable to use. No water or heating is required to activate the toothpaste. Once the BiteLok is attached to the patient’s mouth, a thermoplastic mask is placed over it. While the mask is still warm, the Quickfit tool molds the mask around the edges of the BiteLok™ mouthpiece without the need for hands. The result is a secure, repeatable mouthpiece that attaches to both the patient and the mask, and is also removable for cleaning.
In the SRS treatment technique, which is used to treat small brain tumors and high doses of radiation, patient fixation is of great importance. Given the high dose of radiation and the small size of the tumor, the error should be below 1 mm because the repeatability of the treatment position and anatomical position is of particular importance.
