Radiological properties of 3D printed materials in kilovoltage and megavoltage photon beams

Highlights • 3D printers were used to create materials using different filaments and resins. • From CT imaging, these materials were shown to be similar to many body tissues. • Megavoltage CT can be used to image metallic materials with no artifacts. • Radiological thickness calculations showed a go...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • 3D printers were used to create materials using different filaments and resins. • From CT imaging, these materials were shown to be similar to many body tissues. • Megavoltage CT can be used to image metallic materials with no artifacts. • Radiological thickness calculations showed a good correlation with CT density.
