Radiation treatment involving irregular surfaces of facial topography often causes difficulties for the radiation oncologists. The isodose curves normally used become skewed, thereby making treatment planning more complex. A simple and useful technique is presented describing the use of dental materials to make a bolus compensator to aid in radiation therapy of nonplanar surfaces. This technique will allow the radiation oncologist to treat these patients in a most efficient manner. The materials needed are readily available to the dentist and are easily handled.
涉及面部不规则表面的放射治疗常常给放射肿瘤学家带来困难。通常使用的等剂量曲线会发生扭曲，从而使治疗计划变得更加复杂。本文介绍了一种简单且实用的技术，描述了使用牙科材料制作一种补偿器，以辅助非平面表面的放射治疗。该技术将使放射肿瘤学家能够以最高效的方式治疗这些患者。所需材料对于牙医来说很容易获得且易于操作。
