Treatment Planning Optimization in Radiotherapy Using the Bolus

Abstract:
The present paper presents the results of the research regarding the bolus structure (Bio-Rad Win-IR instrument), the elasticity modulus, the bioadhesiveness properties (TA-XT2 Plus analyzer) and the clinical applications of the bolus in the adjuvant irradiation after radical mastectomy (Treatment Plan System Eclipse). The dose-volume histogram has made a comparative evaluation for with and without bolus treatment plans and confirmed the importance of bolus utilisation in selected patients. Conclusions: the thickness of the applied bolus is dependent on the skin dose required, on the treatment technique and must be equal to the depth of the build-up region for the removal of the skin-sparing effect of a high energy radiation.
