Design, fabrication, and validation of patient-specific electron tissue compensators for postmastectomy radiation therapy

Background and purpose: Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is complex to plan and deliver, but could be improved with 3D-printed, patient-specific electron tissue compensators. The purposes of this study were to develop an algorithm to design patient-specific compensators that achieve clinical goals...
