Abstract:Patient specific applicators are needed for vaginal brachytherapy treatments in cases where conventional cylindrical applicators are unsuitable or unusable. These applicators are often produced using a time-consuming and comparatively imprecise moulding method. This proof-of-concept study used Monte Carlo calculations to investigate potential dosimetric effects from creating applicators using several common 3D printing materials. A sample mould was then replicated using a fused deposition modelling (FDM) techn… Show more
