BodyFIX®
Patient positioning for treatment accuracy
Motion is a major cause of artifacts in modern imaging and errors in high-precision therapy. BodyFIX® enables accurate, precise patient positioning and immobilization,
providing the foundation for successful imaging and treatment in radiation therapy.
The patented BodyFIX dual vacuum technology maximizes repositioning accuracy and intra-treatment patient stability by reducing both involuntary and voluntary
patient movement. Manufactured entirely from radiotranslucent materials,
BodyFIX provides artifact-free image clarity with minimal beam attenuation. The unique cover sheet nestles around the patient and produces a uniform pressure, securely immobilizing the patient’s body parts.
The immobilization system requires only one radiation therapist for first and daily patient set-up. The BlueBAG BodyFIX Vacuum Cushions create a comfortable, stable and precise mold of the patient’s position for up to six weeks. They can be used for different clinical set-ups and indications such as thorax, hip or total body.
Whenever precise localization and targeting are required, non-invasive stereotactic reference frames are available for extracranial stereotaxy.
