Abstract

The present invention pertains to a device for noninvasive, stereotactic immobilization in reproducible position with a head ring providing a firm reference system, a mask consisting of several parts attached to the head ring. The mask is individually adapted to the anatomical contours of a patient, and has mask parts connected with one another as well as with the reference system. The connections enable adjusting the relative position of the mask parts to one another.
