摘要
A method is described for the fabrication of missing tissue compensators used in radiation therapy. This method uses layers of styrofoam plastic and a hot-wire cutting machine to construct a mold in which the compensator is made from tissue equivalent material. When the patient contours are provided, no special equipment or materials are required beyond those normally found in a therapy clinic. © 1979.
