Characterization of 3D-printed bolus produced at different printing parameters

We aimed to analyze the effects of printing parameters on characterization of three-dimensional (3D) printed bolus used in external beam radiotherapy. Two sets of measurements were performed to investigate the dosimetric and physical characterization of 3D-printed bolus at different printing parameters. In the first step, boluses were produced at different infill-percentages, infill-patterns and printing directions. Two-dimensional (2D) dose measurements were performed in Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator using 6 MV photon energy.
