Appl. No.:

13/183169

Inventors:

Elizabeth Chabner Thompson - Scarsdale NY, US

International Classification:

A41C 3/12

US Classification:

450 93

Abstract:

A radiation treatment bra is disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, the bra includes adjustable elements and a medial window. During radiation treatment planning, the elements are adjusted to establish a reference breast geometry. The reference breast geometry is reproduced prior to an actual treatment session by repeating the original adjustment of the elements, as necessary. The medial window enables a light field to be projected onto the patient's chest, and read therefrom, thereby establishing proper alignment of the patient to the radiation treatment machine.

Inventors:

Elizabeth Chabner Thompson - Scarsdale NY, US

International Classification:

A61B 6/00

US Classification:

600 1

Abstract:

A method for radiation treatment includes adjusting a plurality of adjustable elements on a radiation treatment bra to establish a reference breast geometry and aligning the patient to a radiation treatment machine by projecting a light field through windows provided in the radiation treatment bra during a radiation treatment planning session. To begin actual radiation treatment, the reference breast geometry is reestablished by repeating the original adjustments of the adjustable elements, as necessary. Alignment is re-established by viewing tattoos through the windows in conjunction with the light field.
