RADIOLUCENT ORGAN DISPLACEMENT DEVICE FOR RADIATION THERAPY

摘要

A temporarily implantable organ displacement implant (20) is comprised of a bladder (22) with a one-way valve (26) for being filled with a fluid for displacement of a healthy organ from a tissue site desired to be irradiated by radiation therapy. The organ displacement implant (20) is substantially radiolucent which thereby facilitates its placement and minimizes its interference with the radiation therapy.
