摘要：
Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations for creating a patient-specific soft bolus for radiotherapy treatment are disclosed. 2D and/or 3D images of a desired radiotherapy treatment site may be acquired, such as the head, neck, skin, breast, anus, and/or vulva. A user may interact with one or more representations of the images via an interactive user interface such as a graphical user interface (GUI). The images may include target/avoidance structures and radiation beam arrangement. The user may interact with the images to create a visualization of a patient-specific bolus. The visualization and properties of the bolus may be modified as the user manipulates aspects of the image. Data corresponding to the bolus models may be used to create 3D printed negative molds of the bolus model using 3D printing technology. A soft patient-specific bolus may be cast using the 3D printed model.
