Evaluation of Dosimetric Properties of Handmade Bolus for Megavoltage Electron and Photon Radiation Therapy.

Background: The use of boluses for radiation therapy is very necessary to overcome the problem of sending inhomogeneous doses in the target volume due to irregularities on the surface of the skin. The bolus materials for radiation therapy need to be evaluated.

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate some handmade boluses for megavoltage electron and photon radiation therapy.
