Radiotherapy boluses are able to shift the build-up region and are mandatory to treat superficial lesions. The aim of this study is to produce 3D-printed boluses and evaluate how different process parameters (infill pattern and density, materials, etc.) influence their dosimetric behaviour with respect to a conventional bolus.

Abstract

Radiotherapy boluses are able to shift the build-up region and are mandatory to treat superficial lesions. The aim of this study is to produce 3D-printed boluses and evaluate how different process parameters (infill pattern and density, materials, etc.) influence their dosimetric behaviour with respect to a conventional bolus.
