Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating and testing 3D printed dosimetry phantoms for brain cancer radiation therapy at the Australian synchrotron, using various materials like Polylactic acid (PLA+) and tricalcium phosphate.
- Different phantoms, including slab, preclinical rat, and anthropomorphic head models, were evaluated for their accuracy and effectiveness in measuring radiation doses.
- Results showed that PLA+ phantoms closely match water and bone equivalents in terms of radiation attenuation, making them reliable tools for quality assurance in synchrotron dosimetry.
. Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an alternative emerging radiotherapy treatment modality which has demonstrated effective radioresistant tumour control while sparing surrounding healthy tissue in preclinical trials. This apparent selectivity is achieved through MRT combining ultra-high dose rates with micron-scale spatial fractionation of the delivered x-ray treatment field.
