Evaluation of the setup accuracy of a stereotactic radiotherapy head immobilization mask system using kV on‐board imaging

The purpose of this study was to evaluate setup accuracy and quantify random and systematic errors of the BrainLAB stereotactic immobilization mask and localization system using kV on‐board imaging. Nine patients were simulated and set up with the BrainLAB stereotactic head immobilization mask and l...
