Abstract

Various embodiments of a head immobilization apparatus and systems and methods of using the head immobilization apparatus are described herein. The apparatus includes a base configured for underlying a patient's head during radiotherapy and a fixation device including a left arm portion that extends alongside a left side of the patient's head and a right arm portion that extends alongside a right side of the patient's head. The fixation device includes a rotational joint through which the left arm portion is coupled to the base and a rotational joint through which the right arm portion is coupled to the base. The rotational joints are configured to facilitate pivoting adjustment of the fixation device within a coordinate system defined by the radiotherapy treatment system to accommodate a position of the patient's head to facilitate immobilization of the patient's head during radiotherapy.
