Improving 3D-printing of megavoltage X-rays radiotherapy bolus with surface-scanner

Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) data used for patient radiotherapy planning can nowadays be used to create 3D-printed boluses. Nevertheless, this methodology requires a second CT scan and planning process when immobilization masks are used in order to fit the bolus under it for treatmen...
