Published on: PLOS ONE

summary: A three-dimensional (3D)-printed customized bolus (3D bolus) can be used for radiotherapy application to irregular surfaces. However, bolus fabrication based on computed tomography (CT) scans is complicated and also delivers unwanted irradiation. Consequently, the authors fabricated a bolus using a 3D scanner and evaluated its efficacy
