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.

Using a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask can be a great way to target radiation directly to the areas that need it in order to treat cancer. However, it is important to take the right steps in order to make sure that the treatment is effective and that it is done as safely as possible. Preparation for using a radiotherapy thermoplastic mask is an important part of the treatment process and can make all the difference when it comes to getting the most out of the treatment.
