Details: OptiBol for face/scalp as seen in four-panel view in the p.d software (this example shown with “large” alignment guides)

Summary

This case features skin cancer covering parts of the face and scalp. In this case, a custom-fit silicone bolus is required for comfort and coverage.

An upgrade from uniform-thickness to variable-thickness OptiBol improves the quality of the bolus as well as the efficiency of bolus design and planning. The automated, target-based creation algorithm ensures the buildup is added where necessary, but not beyond.

  1. The design screen in the p.d software shows the designed OptiBol with sagittal and coronal alignment guides.
  2. The manufactured bolus as designed in p.d, shown on a 3D-printed holder. This bolus featured 10 mm buildup to the skin cancer target, but a larger buildup (or smaller) could have been selected, and the bolus design time and manufacturing costs would be the same.
  3. The manufactured bolus shown without the 3D-printed holder, illustrating its flexibility.
  4. The entire bolus design (including data import and export) took less than 2 minutes, as shown in this real-time video with timing.
