Summary

This study investigates the feasibility of using 3D-Printing to manufacture masks used to immobilize patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment for tumors affecting the head and neck.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Hand-held laser scanner

The laser scanning is non-intrusive and the scan can be completed in approximately 15 minutes. The scanning process involves the patient sitting in a chair while a researcher performs the scan. As a precautionary measure we require the patient to wear an eye mask as although the scanner is CE marked and completely safe . The process can be completed in stages (e.g. 3 x 5 minutes) with a break of 2-3 minutes between each session. The laser scanner will then be moved around the patient to obtain a set of 3D points forming the surface of the patient's head. We believe the laser scanning to be the most accurate way to acquire the surface of the patient's face / head and we wish to compare the models we obtain with surfaces rendered from the patient's CT data set.
