摘要：

Materials: The new material consists of polystyrene beads coated in a polymerizing substance that when dampened, hardens within 10 min. Results and conclusions: It has a density of less than a tenth of that of water and so is light-weight, a CT number of less than -800 and a minimal effect on the build-up of megavoltage photon beams.
