In radiotherapy of cerebral tumors in the occipital, central, and parietal area it can be favourable to fix the patient's head in frontal or lateral position. It is true that this problem can be solved by manufacturing individual face masks of PVC with the vacuum deep-drawing method, but this method is very time- and cost-consuming. The present study suggests a simplified method using the thermoplastic polyester "Orfit". Such a mask provides a good immobilization and can be manufactured in 10 to 15 minutes without bothering much the patient. Simulation and computed tomography are not substantially affected by the material.
