Towards 3D printed multifunctional immobilization for proton therapy: Initial materials characterization.
PURPOSE 3D printing technology is investigated for the purpose of patient immobilization during proton therapy. It potentially enables a merge of patient immobilization, bolus range shifting, and other functions into one single patient-specific structure. In this first step, a set of 3D printed materials is characterized in detail, in terms of structural and radiological properties, elemental c...
متن کاملSU-F-T-181: Proton Therapy Tissue-Equivalence of 3D Printed Materials.
PURPOSE This work investigated the proton tissue-equivalence of various 3D printed materials. METHODS Three 3D printers were used to create 5 cm cubic phantoms made of different plastics with varying percentages of infill. White resin, polylactic acid (PLA), and NinjaFlex plastics were used. The infills ranged from 15% to 100%. Each phantom was scanned with a CT scanner to obtain the HU value...
متن کاملTowards multifunctional inorganic materials: biopolymeric templates
Inorganic functional materials are widely applied due to their electrical, optical, magnetic and mechanical properties. Accordingly, these materials exhibit an enormous impact on key technologies relevant for future fields such as energy generation and storage, information and medical technology as well as automotive engineering. The manufacturing of such materials is usually performed at eleva...
متن کاملThe first 3D printed multiple sclerosis brain: Towards a 3D
Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies depict disease of the human brain in 2D but the reconstruction of a patient’s brain stricken with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 3D using 2D images has not been attempted. Using 3D reconstruction algorithms, we built a 3D printed patient-specific brain model to scale. It is a first of its kind model that depicts the total white matter lesion (WM...
