Apparatus and method for stabilizing a body part |
摘要 |
An apparatus for non-invasively stabilizing the head of a patient is provided. The apparatus includes a support frame, a rigid template mounted to the support frame, a plurality of fiducial marker housings located on the support frame, and a mounting assembly that attaches the support frame to a table or a bed. The rigid template is formed by molding a heat-activated sheet of plastic around the head or face of the patient. A method for treating the head of a patient is also provided. The method involves forming a rigid template that conforms to the head and/or face of a patient, positioning the head with the rigid template, performing a radiographic imaging procedure, and performing a subsequent surgical procedure. The imaging and surgical procedures are performed with the patient stabilized in the same position.
