Fabrication and Dosimetric Characteristics of Silicon Elastomer-Based Bolus Using External Beam Radiotherapy

Abstract

Linear accelerator (LINAC) is the machine used in external beam radiotherapy which has the capacity of producing high energy electrons and photons. In photon and electron therapy, to spare the normal tissues and to treat tumors in an efficient way, beam modifiers like compensators, wedge filters, bolus, breast cone, penumbra
