The patient must be simulated supine, arms by the side, head resting on neck-shape as per department protocol. A personalised immobilisation mask can be used. Treatment Volume. The fields must cover the whole brain and include the cerebrum and cerebellum. The superior border of the field must be overshooting the skull by 2 cm to ensure adequate coverage. There must be adequate coverage of the intracranial contents by a margin of 1-2 cm. The caudal border needs to be angled to accomplish this and also avoid the eyes. The pituitary is usually included in the field by default. No effort should be made to cover it if it is not in field.
