The importance of special attention for the pelvic region

When irradiating the pelvis, it is important to reduce rotations in the pelvic region. This not only leads to more comfort for the patient but also facilitates easier set-up reproducibility. The MacroMedics® Lower Extremity Positioning System™ (LEPS™) is a modular solution that supports the comfortable positioning of the patient’s pelvic region and lower extremities in the supine position. When a patient instead has to lie in prone position for treatment, the MacroMedics® Pelvic Prone Board offers a patient-friendly design.
