Characteristics of a bolus created using thermoplastic sheets for postmastectomy radiation therapy

This study applied a “shell bolus,” an immobilizing thermoplastic shell locally thickened with extra layers over the radiation target, during postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). We performed ion chamber and film measurements for a solid water phantom for thermoplastic sheets and a gel bolus for...
