A double-sided radiotherapy mold is a type of medical device that is mainly used in radiation therapy. It is a mask-like device designed and made by medical technicians to control radiation to tumors to a precise range and protect surrounding normal tissues from radiation damage. A double-sided radiotherapy mold usually consists of a positioning system and an adjustment system that allows the angle and position to be adjusted during treatment to meet different treatment needs.
The production of double-sided radiotherapy molds requires medical technicians to carry out a series of operations, such as size determination, mold design, preparation of materials, and manual processing. First, the medical technician needs to measure the patient to obtain data on the patient's head geometry and contour dimensions. The designer then enters this data into a computer for modeling and mold design. Next, a machine tool controlled by light beam imaging equipment is used to machine the mold with the desired shape. Finally, after inspection, the double-sided radiotherapy mold is ready for delivery.
Double-sided radiotherapy molds are commonly used for precision and flexibility in radiation therapy of smaller areas such as head and neck tumors, nasopharyngeal cancer, and craniopharyngiomas. Double-sided radiotherapy molds can precisely control the radiation range of radiation and effectively protect the surrounding normal tissues. In addition, while fixing the patient's position, it can also ensure the stability of the head and neck, which plays an important role in improving the success rate of radiotherapy treatment. The use of double-sided radiotherapy molds can bring higher therapeutic effects, reduce the irradiation dose of the patient, and alleviate the side effects brought about by the treatment.
