Abstract:

AbstractThe fabrication of multi-material medical phantoms with both patient-specificity and realistic mechanical properties is of great importance for the development of surgical planning and medical training. In this work, a 3D multi-material printing system for medical phantom manufacturing was developed. Rigid and elastomeric materials are firstly combined in such application for an accurate tactile feedback. The phantom is designed with multiple layers, where silicone ink, Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) were chosen as printing materials for ski

Abstract:

Abstract Background The accuracy of dose calculation is crucial for success of the radiotherapy treatment. One of the methods that represent the current standard for patient-specific dosimetry is the evaluation of dose distributions measured with an ionization chamber array inside a homogeneous phantom using gamma method. Nevertheless, this method does not replicate the realistic conditions present when a patient is undergoing therapy. Therefore, to more accurately evaluate the treatment planning system (TPS) capabilities, gamma passing rates were examined for beams of different complexity pas

Abstract:

Pedicle screw fixation (PSF) demands rigorous training to mitigate the risk of severe neurovascular complications arising from screw misplacement. This paper introduces a patient-specific phantom designed for PSF training, extending a portion of the learning process beyond the confines of the surgical room. Six phantoms of the thoracolumbar region were fabricated from radiological datasets, combining 3D printing and casting techniques. The phantoms were employed in three training sessions by a fifth-year resident who performed full training on all six phantoms; he/she placed a total of 57 pedi

Objective: For real-time markerless tumour tracking in stereotactic lung radiotherapy, we propose a different approach which uses patient-specific deep learning (DL) using a personalised data generation strategy, avoiding the need for collection of a large patient data set.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective. As cancer survivorship increases, there is growing interest in minimizing the late effects of radiation therapy such as radiogenic second cancer, which may occur anywhere in the body. Assessing the risk of late effects requires knowledge of the dose distribution throughout the whole body, including regions far from the treatment field, beyond the typical anatomical extent of clinical computed tomography (CT) scans. Approach. A hybrid phantom was developed which consists of in-field patient CT images extracted from ground truth whole-body CT scans, out-of-field mesh phantoms

During transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) procedures, accurate targeting is important and neuronavigation with optically tracked tools is used to estimate the free-field focal location on pre-acquired images.

Here, we developed a pipeline that integrated patient-specific acoustic simulations informed by transformations from optically tracked FUS procedures as a tool to evaluate transcranial pressure fields and demonstrated its use in three FUS scenarios: magn

Abstract:

With the complexity and high demands on quality assurance (QA) of photon beam radiation therapy, end-to-end (E2E) QA is necessary to validate the entire treatment workflow from pre-treatment imaging to beam delivery. A polymer gel dosimeter is a promising tool for three-dimensional (3D) dose distribution measurement. The purpose of this study is to design a fast “one delivery” polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) phantom with a polymer gel dosimeter for the E2E QA test of the photon beam. The one delivery phantom is composed of ten calibration cuvettes for the calibration curve measurement, two 10 c

Abstract:

In radiation therapy, a bolus is used to improve dose distribution in superficial tumors; however, commercial boluses lack conformity to patient surface leading to the formation of an air gap between the bolus and patient surface and suboptimal tumor control. The aim of this study was to explore 3D-printing technology for the development of patient-specific conformal 3D-printed devices, which can be used for the radiation treatment of superficial head and neck cancer (HNC). Two 3D boluses (0.5 and 1.0 cm thick) for surface dose build-up and patient-specific 3D phantom were printed based on rec

Abstract:

This paper describes a method to reconstruct bendable superficial hyperthermia applicators for routine clinical patient-specific treatment planning. The reconstruction uses a CT scan with a flexible silicone dummy applicator positioned on the patient. The curvature was approximated by two second-degree polynomial functions. A realistic treatment series was mimicked using a standard Alderson radiation therapy phantom and a treatment planning model was reconstructed from a CT scan. The variation among treatment curvatures was compared to the modelled curvature. The mathematical approximation of

Abstract:

The computed tomography scanner (CT scan) protocol used in patient examinations must be continuously reviewed and optimized. Medical physicists evaluate the quality of the resulting image using an image quality phantom and evaluate radiation dose using a dosimetry phantom separately. Procuring a dosimetry phantom and image quality phantom for CT scans separately also requires a lot of money. Therefore, developing a dosimetry phantom and image quality phantom combined in one phantom is expected to be a solution to overcome the mentioned problem. This research aims to create a phantom as a combi

Medical Imaging Phantoms (MIPs) calibrate imaging devices, train medical professionals, and can help procedural planning. Traditional MIPs are costly and limited in customization. Additive manufacturing allows for customizable, patient-specific phantoms. This study examines the CT attenuation characteristics of contrast-injectable, chambered 3D-printed phantoms to optimize tissue-mimicking capabilities. A MIP was constructed from a CT of a complex pelvic tumor near the iliac bifurcation. A 3D reconstruction of these structures composed of three chambers (aorta, inferior vena cava, tumor) with

We aimed to validate that the major surgical steps and anatomy replicated the real surgery as it would be conducted in actual patients. Materials and metho

Abstract Validation of computational models using in vitro phantoms is a nontrivial task, especially in the replication of the mechanical properties of the vessel walls, which varies with age and pathophysiological state. In this paper, we present a novel aortic phantom reconstructed from patient-specific data with variable wall compliance that can be tuned without recreating the phantom. The three-dimensional (3D) geometry of an aortic arch was retrieved from a computed tomography angiography scan. A rubber-like silicone phantom was manufactured and connected to a compliance chamber in order

However, current CT RMPs are highly simplified and do not exhibit realistic tissue structures or deformation patterns. With the rise of more complex motion compensation technologies such as dee
