Three‐dimensional printers applied for the production of beam blocks in total body irradiation treatment

PURPOSE: Total body irradiation (TBI) in extended source surface distance (SSD) is a common treatment technique before hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The lungs are organs at risk, which often are treated with a lower dose than the whole body. METHODS: This can be achieved by the application of...

description PURPOSE: Total body irradiation (TBI) in extended source surface distance (SSD) is a common treatment technique before hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The lungs are organs at risk, which often are treated with a lower dose than the whole body. METHODS: This can be achieved by the application of blocks. Three‐dimensional (3D) printers are a modern tool to be used in the production process of these blocks. RESULTS: We demonstrate the applicability of a specific printer and printing material, describe the process, and evaluate the accuracy of the product. CONCLUSION: The blocks and apertures were found to be applicable in clinical routine.
