3D printed dosimetry phantoms to improve radiotherapy verification

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University have been working on using 3D printing to create personalized dosimetry phantoms to improve the planning of radiotherapy treatment. Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (Tomsk, Russia) are using 3D printing to create dosimetry phantoms. These phantoms are created taking into account the characteristics of a patient and allow for a better planning of radiotherapy treatment.  Before each course of radiotherapy, dosimetry phantoms are used for verification of treatment plans. They are typically generic conventional models of the human body or have a simple geometric shape. Plastic similar in density to the average index of different...
