为了改善头颈部肿瘤的治疗，研制了面罩。使用体模测试了11种明显合适的材料的物理和机械性能。根据我们的研究，“HEX-CELITE”（由Medimex，Hamburg，F.R.G.是最好的材料。为优化乳腺肿瘤切除术后快电子放射治疗的剂量分布，制作了乳房塑模。这里也测试了九种不同材料的机械和物理性能。其中最合适的被证明是凝胶垫“PRIMAMED”（由Schulke和Mayr，诺德施泰特，F.R.G.提供）。上述两种材料已被200多名患者良好耐受。
In order to improve head and neck tumor therapy, face masks were developed. The physical and mechanical properties of 11 apparently suitable materials were tested using a phantom. According to our studies "HEX-CELITE" (supplied by Medimex, Hamburg, F.R.G.) proved to be the best material. Plastic breast molds were made to optimize the dose distribution for radiation therapy with fast electrons of post-mastectomy breast tumors. Here too the mechanical and physial properties of nine different materials were tested. The most suitable of these proved to be the gel mat "PRIMAMED" (supplied by Schulke and Mayr, Norderstedt, F.R.G.). The two materials mentioned have been well tolerated by more than 200 patients.
