Plasticine bolus, water hyacinth powder, water hyacinth powder ((a) 0.5 cm plasticine bolus, (b) 1 cm plasticine bolus, (c) 1.5 cm plasticine bolus, (d ) water hyacinth powder 5 gr, (e) water hyacinth powder 7.5 gr, (f) water hyacinth powder 11 gr, (g) water hyacinth bolus 0.5 cm, (h) water hyacinth bolus 1 cm, (i) water hyacinth bolus 1.5 cm) In it can be seen the color difference of each bolus according to the color of the basic ingredients used. Water hyacinth boluses (Eichhornia crassipes) have a more elastic texture than plasticine boluses so that water hyacinth boluses (Eichhornia crassipes) can be more easily shaped according to needs in both cold and normal temperatures. And the elasticity level of the water hyacinth bolus is better when compared to the plasticine bolus which will harden at a certain time and have an influence on the radiation dose that will be transmitted to the target. Thus, it can be concluded that the water hyacinth bolus (Eichhornia crassipes) has advantages for users in terms of texture and bolus resistance.

Bolus radiotherapy aims to make the radiation dose more homogeneous, and increase the surface dose to the skin. Exploration of alternative materials for substitute mixtures that are relatively safer is needed to reduce the weaknesses in the use of plasticine mixtures. To develop the basic ingredients for making bolus using biopolymers in water hyac...
