3D Printing in Radiation Therapy provides practical and comprehensive guidance for the implementation, quality management, maintenance and safe use of a clinical 3D printing programme in the radiation therapy context. Radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment that can benefit half of all cancer patients, and the introduction of an appropriately planned, managed, and resourced 3D printing programme can increase that benefit in terms of the radiation therapy patient experience, staff engagement, treatment accuracy and improved treatment outcomes, in addition to monetary savings.
Key features:
- Information to aid in selection of suitable 3D printing modalities, materials and software for radiation therapy applications
- Guidance regarding efficiently and accurately designing, printing and post-processing phantoms, jigs and attachments as well as radiation treatment equipment such as bolus, immobilisation devices, radiation shields and brachytherapy applicators
- A detailed introduction to comprehensive quality management of the 3D printing service, including documented risk assessments, commissioning methods, 3D printer maintenance, 3D print quality control, reviews, audits and staff training
- Advice on the potential costs and benefits of the 3D printing service in terms of time, money, space, patient and staff safety, and waste management
Prof Scott B. Crowe PhD is the Senior Research Medical Physicist at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Metro North Hospital and Health Service, Brisbane, Australia. Prof Crowe is the Clinical Lead for the Herston Biofabrication Institute Cancer Care Services research programme, and oversaw the process by which the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (Metro North Hospital and Health Service) became the first hospital in Australia to be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a point-of-care manufacturer of 3D printed radiation therapy bolus.
Prof Tomas Kron OAM PhD FACPSEM is the Managing Director of the Department of Medical Physics at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia, with responsibility for overseeing a programme that has produced nearly 2000 patient-matched 3D printed radiation therapy devices. Prof Kron has over 600 publications, many of which demonstrate his ongoing interest in developing bespoke phantoms and dosimetry systems, including eight papers on 3D printing topics in the last three years and an early paper on 3D printed phantom materials in 2015.
