Abstract
A temporarily implantable organ displacement implant is comprised of a bladder with a one-way valve for being filled with a fluid for displacement of a healthy organ from a tissue site desired to be irradiated by radiation therapy. This organ displacement implant is substantially radiolucent which thereby facilitates its placement and minimizes its interference with the radiation therapy.
