Silverman Head & Neck Support | Transparent Acrylic Elevation System
Silverman Head & Neck Supports are a transparent, low-density elevation system designed for flexible head and neck positioning in radiotherapy and MRI-guided treatment. Made of thin, sturdy acrylic with negligible radiation attenuation, they provide customized head elevation across multiple angles (A through F). Compatible with a variety of tabletops and couch types, they can be purchased individually or as a complete set of six for comprehensive positioning options. Fully MR-compatible for advanced imaging workflows.
Key Features:
- Transparent acrylic construction enables direct visualization of patient skin and positioning landmarks
- Set of six supports (A through F) offering progressive height and angle configurations
- Low-density design with negligible radiation attenuation minimizes imaging artifacts and dose shadowing
- Thin, sturdy acrylic provides durable support without adding bulk to positioning systems
- Fits directly into a variety of tabletop and couch configurations without additional hardware
- Modular design allows individual support selection or complete set deployment
- MR-compatible material ensures full integration with MRI-guided radiotherapy workflows
- Lightweight and easily interchangeable between treatment sessions
