A method of bolus shape calculation in ion-beam therapy for a large set of ions and for various bolus materials is presented. Currently, it is possible to use any ion in the range H–Ca, and a list of bolus materials can include polystyrene, PLA, and aluminium. The list of ions and materials can be expanded. This method is implemented as a component of the planning system for the ion-beam therapy centre being developed at the NRC ‘‘Kurchatov Institute’’—IHEP. An example of bolus calculation for a real patient and the results of verification using detailed modelling in GEANT4 are presented.
