Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for fabricating and employing patient immobilization devices during radiation treatment procedures. Immobilization devices are provided that include a thin conformal shell configured to conform to an anatomical region of a patient that is to be exposed to radiation during a radiation treatment procedure, with a rigid lattice structure extending outwardly, in an external, beam-facing direction, from the conformal shell. The rigid lattice structure confers structural rigidity to the device, and the thin cellular regions mitigate the impact of the device on a surface dose delivered to the patient or subject. The present mechanical-metamaterial-based immobilization devices incorporate structural features that confer advantageous mechanical properties and radiation transmissive properties when compared with conventional solid or mesh-based immobilization devices used in radiation therapy.
