Impact of rectal balloon‐filling materials on the dosimetry of prostate and organs at risk in photon beam therapy
The use of rectal balloon in radiotherapy of prostate cancer is shown to be effective in reducing prostate motion and minimizing rectal volume, thus reducing rectal toxicity. Air‐filled rectal balloon has been used most commonly, but creates dose perturbation at the air‐tissue interface. In this stu...
