|
Mold |
A device that is modified by pressure (molded) to fit another object (such as the patient"s anatomy) and then used to control the reproducibility of the patient"s treatment position. |
|

|
Head and Neck Mask |
A device that is placed over the patient's face and neck and attached to the tabletop to prevent the patient from moving relative to the tabletop. |
|

|
Brachytherapy source applicator |
Source applicator used in brachytherapy treatment delivery |
|

|
Head Mask |
A device that is placed over the patient's face and attached to the tabletop to prevent the patient from moving relative to the tabletop. |
|
130110
|
Headframe |
A device attached to the tabletop that is also screwed into the skull of the patient's head to position and orient the head in a prescribed geometry relative to the tabletop. The device is commonly known as a "halo". |
|
130117
|
Body Frame |
A device placed beneath a patient to support the whole body in a prescribed position and orientation relative to the table top. |
|
130116
|
Breast Board |
A device placed on the tabletop to support the chest and arms of a patient in a prescribed position and orientation. |
|
130114
|
Cast |
A device that is fabricated from a mold of another object (like the patient"s anatomy) and then used to control the reproducibility of the patient"s treatment position. |
|
130119
|
Whole Body Pod |
A device placed beneath a patient to support the whole body in a prescribed position and orientation relative to the table top. It is commonly shaped like a hollow half cylinder. The space between the patient and the wall is commonly filled with a dual component foam that hardens conforming to the bottom surface of the patient. |
|
130118
|
Vacuum Mold |
A device placed beneath a patient to support a body part in a prescribed position and orientation relative to the table top. It is commonly a bag containing low density polystyrene spheres that becomes semi-hard when vacuum is applied conforming to the bottom surface of the patient. |
|

|
Portacath |
Connected to an injection chamber placed under the skin in the upper part of the chest. When it is necessary to inject some drug, a specific needle is put in the chamber through the skin and a silicon membrane. The advantage of a portacath is that it may be left in place several months contrarily of "classical" catheters. |
|

|
Chest tube |
A tube inserted into the chest wall from outside the body, for drainage. Sometimes used for collapsed lung. Usually connected to a receptor placed lower than the insertion site. |
|
112174
|
Central line |
A tube placed into the subclavian vein to deliver medication directly into the venous system. |
|
112175
|
Kidney stent |
A stent is a tube inserted into another tube. Kidney stent is a tube that is inserted into the kidney, ureter, and bladder, to help drain urine. Usually inserted through a scoping device presented through the urethra. |
|
112176
|
Pancreatic stent |
A stent is a tube inserted into another tube. Pancreatic stent is inserted through the common bile duct to the pancreatic duct, to drain bile. |
|

|
Nipple ring |
A non-lesion object that appears to be a circular band, attached to the body via pierced nipple. |
|
112178
|
Coin |
A non-lesion object that appears to be a flat round piece of metal. |
|

|
Rectal Balloon |
A flexible fluid container inserted into the rectum to maintain an immovable geometry during treatment. |
|
112171
|
Fiducial mark |
A location in image space, which may or may not correspond to an anatomical reference, which is often used for registering data. |
|
130121
|
Vaginal Cylinder |
An intracavity cylinder inserted into the vagina to achieve greater radiation dose control and radiation dose shaping. Radioactive sources are inserted into the cylinder for treatment. |

|
Ion Chamber Array |
A number of devices that measures charge from the ions produced in a medium when exposed to ionizing radiation. The devices are arranged systematically in a regular pattern. |
|
128702
|
Diode Array |
A number of semiconductor devices that generates current when exposed to ionizing radiation. The devices are arranged systematically in a regular pattern. |
|
128705
|
Liquid Ion Chamber |
An ion chamber that uses a liquid as the medium. |
|
128704
|
Diode |
A semiconductor device that generates current when exposed to ionizing radiation. |
|
128707
|
Ion Chamber |
A device that measures charge from the ions produced in a medium when exposed to ionizing radiation. |
|
128706
|
OSLD |
Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeter. It is a crystal that when exposed to green light, emits blue light in proportion to the amount of ionizing radiation it has been exposed to. |
|
128709
|
RPLGD |
A radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter. It is a solid state cumulative radiation dosimeter usually made of silver-activated phosphate glass. The silver atoms act as radiophotoluminescence centers excited by ionizing radiation. The number of centers excited is proportional to the absorbed dose to the RPLGD. |
|

|
Diamond Detector |
A semiconductor detector that uses diamond as the medium. |
|
