Durian Seed As A Potential Substrate For Bolus In Radiotherapy

Tiga jenis bolus telah dihasilkan dengan menggunakan tiga jenis komposisi dengan beza nisbah polivinil alkohol (PVA) terhadap gam biji durian. Nisbah PVA kepada gam biji durian untuk bolus jenis pertama ialah 1:9; 3:7 dan 5:5. Bolus yang dihasilkan diciri berdasarkan kepada sifat-sifat mekanikal sep...
