Abstract
The present invention describes a membrane mask for immobilization of a region of interest during radiation therapy. The mask comprises at least one material forming a matrix, and at least one radiation-sensitive material integrated as micro- or nano-sized material elements in or onto the matrix. The radiation-sensitive material advantageously provides the possibility of using the mask for performing dosimetry. Use of the mask and a method for performing dosimetry also are described.
