Radiotherapy masks are often used to help deliver precise radiation dosages during treatment. Radiotherapy, or radiation therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that uses ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. With the use of a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask, patients undergoing radiation therapy can receive treatment with increased accuracy and safety. The mask is created by taking an impression of a patient’s face and then heating a thermoplastic sheet until pliable and forming it over the impression.

Radiotherapy thermoplastic masks have become an increasingly popular tool for radiotherapy patients undergoing treatment for cancers and other conditions. While this type of mask offers many benefits over traditional masks, it is important for both practitioners and patients to understand the proper usage guidelines for radiotherapy thermoplastic masks.
