Determination of the appropriate physical density of internal metallic ports in temporary tissue expanders for the treatment planning of post-mastectomy radiation therapy

Some patients undergoing breast reconstruction require post-mastectomy radiation therapy, but the metallic ports used in temporary tissue expanders attenuate the X-rays. In this study, we evaluated by the film method, the attenuation of 4 MV and 6 MV X-rays after passing through a metallic port, wit...
