Abstract:PurposeTo provide a methodology for characterization of the technical properties of a newly developed non‐metallic tissue expander for intensity modulated proton therapy.MethodsThree tissue expanders (AlloX2‐Pro: plastic‐dual port, AlloX2: metal‐dual port, and Dermaspan: metal‐single port) were deconstructed, CT‐scanned, and modeled in RayStation12A. A 165 MeV single spot was used to create RayStation dose planes, and the integrated depth dose profiles were calculated and the DR90 extracted to predict water eq… Show more
