摘要：

A radiotherapy bolus is a tissue-equivalent material placed on the skin to adjust the surface dose of megavoltage X-ray beams used for treatment. In this study, the dosimetric properties of two 3D-printed filament materials, polylactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic polyether urethane (TPU), used as radiotherapy boluses, were investigated. The dosimetric properties of PLA and TPU were compared with those of several conventional bolus materials and RMI457 Solid Water. Percentage depth-dose (PDD) measurements in the build-up region were performed for all materials using 6 and 10 MV photon treatment beams on Varian linear accelerators. The results showed that the differences in the PDDs of the 3D-printed materials from the RMI457 Solid Water were within 3%, whereas those of the dental wax and SuperFlab gel materials were within 5%. This indicates that PLA and TPU 3D-printed materials are suitable radiotherapy bolus materials.
