Efficacy of patient-specific bolus created using three-dimensional printing technique in photon radiotherapy

Highlights • A patient-specific 3D bolus (3D-bolus) was designed via a treatment planning system. • The 3D-printed 3D-bolus provided effective dose coverage in the build-up region. • Air gaps were reduced and the prescription dose was delivered to the target volume. • The 3D-bolus is similar to a co...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • A patient-specific 3D bolus (3D-bolus) was designed via a treatment planning system. • The 3D-printed 3D-bolus provided effective dose coverage in the build-up region. • Air gaps were reduced and the prescription dose was delivered to the target volume. • The 3D-bolus is similar to a commercially available bolus on irregularly shaped skin.
