Article Synopsis
- This paper investigates how the density of 3D printed plesiotherapy applicators impacts dosimetry in brachytherapy treatments, focusing on varying densities from air to water using common FDM materials.
- The study involved creating applicators using 3D printing, with specific designs for measuring dose and gamma index at critical points using EBT films during clinical conditions.
- Results indicate that while the applicators' density does not affect dose at prescription depth, it significantly influences surface dose measurements near the applicator, highlighting the importance of considering material density to minimize skin toxicity in treatments.
