Medical Physicist's Notes · Thermoplastic Mask Family

Notes for the physicist runningthermoplastic-mask setup accuracy.

Each post covers one aspect of running the thermoplastic mask family across the department — per-site setup-accuracy workflow (H&N IMRT, intracranial SRS, MR-Linac, paediatric brain SRT, trunk IGRT, 3-point re-irradiation), daily CBCT / MVCT verification cadence, intrafractional-drift budget under mask fixation, and the AAPM TG-176 dosimetric-handling cadence at plan commissioning.

Setup-accuracy workflow

Six mask workflows and the daily-imaging cadence each one runs on

H&N IMRT, intracranial SRS, MR-Linac, paediatric brain SRT, trunk IGRT and 3-point re-irradiation — one mask family, six setup-accuracy workflows. Daily CBCT / MVCT verification cadence, intrafractional drift budget and PTV-margin implications.
