ABSTRACT:
A radiation table insert comprises a perimeter frame having at least one open side and a radiation transparent rigid grid mounted within said perimeter frame, to provide an oblique lateral treatment port along the open side of said frame. The open side of the carbon fiber grid is provided with a down-turned flange grid that provides the structural support to help prevent sag and to provide a radiotranslucent window that eliminates potential radiation build-up. This design is particularly important in meeting the challenges of arch or rational therapy programs that require later oblique treatment angles.
