Material Evaluation of PC-ISO for Customized, 3D Printed, Gynecologic Ir HDR Brachytherapy Applicators
Purpose: To evaluate the radiation attenuation properties of PC-ISO, a bio-compatible, sterilizable 3D printing material and its suitability for customized gynecologic (GYN) brachytherapy 15 applicators. Method: A custom radiochromic film dosimetry apparatus was 3D-printed in PC-ISO. The apparatus contained a single catheter channel and a slit to hold a radiochromic segment. A brachytherapy dos...
متن کامل3D-printed Z-frame marker for MRI-guided interventions
The performance of interventional procedures during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance brings multiple advantages compared to other imaging modalities, such as the elimination of ionizing radiation and high quality soft tissue differentiation. Clinicians prefer to use MR-imaging for certain interventional procedures including MRI-guided biopsies [1] and ablations [2]. Real time MR-imagin...
متن کاملImproved source path localisation in ring applicators and the clinical impact for gynecological brachytherapy
PURPOSE The path of subsequent dwell positions of an afterloader source being moved through a ring applicator for cervix cancer brachytherapy deviates from an ideal circle and the position of marker wires. This can lead to deviations of several millimetres between real and assumed dwell positions for treatment planning with simplified source path models. The aim of this study was to test video-...
متن کاملAccuracy evaluation of a 3D-printed individual template for needle guidance in head and neck brachytherapy
To transfer the preplan for the head and neck brachytherapy to the clinical implantation procedure, a preplan-based 3D-printed individual template for needle insertion guidance had previously been designed and used. The accuracy of needle insertion using this kind template was assessed in vivo In the study, 25 patients with head and neck tumors were implanted with 125I radioactive seeds under t...
متن کاملEvaluation of deformable image registration in HDR gynecological brachytherapy
Introduction: In brachytherapy, as in external radiotherapy, image-guidance plays an important role. For GYN treatments it is standard to acquire at least CT images and preferably MR images prior to each treatment and to calculate the dose of the day on each set of images. Then, the dose to the target and to the organs at risk (OAR) is calculated with worst case scenario from I...
