Abstract
Radiation therapy of oral and head and neck cancers often involves skin in the therapeutic range, and the use of bolus is frequently used. Dose irregularities provide dose uncertainty in patient application. In this study, the physical properties of patients with gel bolus, poly lactic acid (PLA), and silicon using 3D printing were fabricated. Dose uncertainties arising from the actual radiation dose delivery were measured. As a result, PLA bolus was stable in the Common irregularities. Silicon bolus may be useful for patients with severe irregularities or frequent changes in patient's body shape.
