Dosimetric Comparison of Superflab and Specially Prepared Bolus Materials Used in Radiotherapy Practice.

The CDIM is easy to prepare and apply on irregular mastectomy scar tissue and it prevents formation of air gaps in the application surface. Especially for curved anatomical regions such as scar tissue, inclusion of the bolus material in treatment planning protocol will reduce dose uncertainty in application. It is safe to use CDIM as an alternative to Superflab in radiotherapy application, whereas PDM is not useful in clinical practice due to its material properties.
