Summary

This is a single-center, single-arm observational study in which the investigators aim to develop an advanced motion control system for head stabilization in patients undergoing whole brain radiation therapy.

Detailed description

Standard of care treatment is to be immobilized with a mask for whole brain radiation therapy. The purpose of this study is to develop a process to track and correct a person's head movements in real time during radiation treatment. To do this, the investigators will use a mask and head holder connected to a robotic support platform which can make small movements of the head holder.

Conditions

• Brain Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Freedom Pursuit Robotic Platform	The Freedom Pursuit Robotic Platform is a robotic head holder device that uses data from the AlignRT system (3D surface imager) to make small movements of a patient's head to stabilize it during radiation therapy.
