This patient case study evaluates the usage of a 3D printed bolus compared to a standard sheet bolus for chest wall radiation therapy based on the accuracy of fit, surface dose measured in vivo, and the efficiency of patient setup. The results demonstrate that the 3D printed bolus in post-mastectomy radiation therapy provides a better bolus fit and reduces patient setup time compared with sheet bolus. More details can be found in the published article listed below.1
