The AccuFix IMRT Quick-fix Carbon Fiber Pelvis Immobilization System uses the widely popular leg wedge technique for easy and accurate pelvis target reproducibility. This system flattens the lower lumbar for more comfortable and repeatable patient positioning. The leg wedge can be indexed to the board at a variety of locations. This board can be indexed or repeatably mounted to most treatment, simulator and CT tops.

The Quick-Fix pelvis system can be used with a wide variety of different shapes and sizes of thermoplastic, 12”, 18”, 24”, or 27” Opti-Handles, and include a left and right incre-mented millimeter scale for easy superior to inferior positioning of the patient.

The Aqua-Belt™ technique uses a specially processed, narrow belt of low shrink Aquaplast RT thermoplastic, covering only the iliac crest spine. This leaves unrestricted access to the symphysis pubis for an ultrasound probe, and for AP, LAO, and RAO fields. The Aqua-Belt™ keeps the patient in a reproducible center “X” position on the system, while the leg positioning wedge reproduces the “Y” and “Z” coordinates of the iliac crest.

Therapists generally agree that the use of the legs for patient positioning of the pelvis is an easy, accurate and comfortable technique for IMRT and 3-D CRT treatment of the prostate. The Aqua-Brief™ technique uses a three point fixation system covering the pelvic region, but not the abdomen.
