Tongue Displacement Device in Decreasing the Radiation Dose to Tongue and Preventing Proton Beam Overshoot in Proton Therapy for Unilateral Head and Neck Cancer
The aim of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of a semi-customized tongue displacement device (SCTDD) fabricated using a 3D printer for patients receiving unilateral head and neck irradiation with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and assess its feasibility as a proton...
