Plastic mesh masks used for radiation for the head and neck regions. Plastic mesh masks used for radiation for the head and neck regions. Plastic mesh masks are made from a hard plastic that become flexible in warm water. When wet, it conforms to the contour of your face and dries quickly. The masks are important for accurate daily set-up. If a mask is made for you, the marks will be placed on the mask, rather than on your skin. In the simulator and the treatment room, laser beams are used to help confirm your precise alignment. These laser beams are harmless.
