Development of a 3D-printed phantom for total skin electron therapy dose assessment.

Purpose: Total skin electron therapy (TSET) is a complex radiotherapy technique, posing challenges in commissioning and quality assurance (QA), especially due to significant variability in patient body shapes. Previous studies have correlated dose with factors such as obesity index, height, and gender. However, current treatment planning systems cannot simulate TSET plans, necessitating heavy reliance on QA methods using standardized anthropomorphic phantoms and in-vivo dosimetry.

Development and optimisation of grid inserts for a preclinical radiotherapy system and corresponding Monte Carlo beam simulations.
