Intrapatient study comparing 3D printed bolus versus standard vinyl gel sheet bolus for postmastectomy chest wall radiation therapy

Conclusions This study demonstrates 3D printed bolus in postmastectomy radiation therapy improves fit of the bolus and reduces patient setup time marginally compared with standard vinyl gel sheet bolus. The time savings on patient setup must be weighed against the considerable time needed for the 3D printing process.
