“…Using of bolus is other method which is used in radiotherapy of these tumors [14][15][16][17][18]. Bolus is a tissue-equivalent material that is widely used in electron and photon radiation therapy to move or shift the buildup region [19,20].…”

“…According to the recommendations of AAPM Task Group 25 (American Association of Physicists in Medicine), bolus should designed in such a way that target Volume received at least 90 percent of prescribed doses but with internal inhomogeneity of tumor surface and non-uniformity of the dose with bolus observed that it would be the treatment of tumors of the parotid challengeable [15,18,19,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…Searching for different absorbent materials which could be used in radiotherapy as compensating materials (bolus) for a better distribution of doses in the targeted volume needs further special attention [10]- [12]. The basic conditions of these new materials, besides the mandatory radiation protection are: lower production costs; easy to produce and easy to design in the geometry of individual treatment; flexible and nontoxic.…”

“…Bolus is commonly used in radiotherapy for treating tumor near the skin. It offers a water equivalent material to provide sufficient coverage of the tumor and a homogenous dose distribution 1 . However, commercially available flat bolus fabricated of sheet gels cannot be easily applied to some irregular skin surfaces like those of the nose, ears, eyes, and scalp.…”
