Real-Time Head Position Stabilization of Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy

The purpose of this study is to begin to develop a device to stabilize the head during
stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SRS is a therapy for brain disorders and cancers that uses a
precise dose of radiation to treat a disease, and is different from whole brain radiation.
This study aims to stabilize patient head motions during radiation therapy through the use of
a special experimental head holder. The investigators would like to first see how the
experimental device works in whole brain radiation.
