This study evaluates the dosimetric accuracy of PLA and ABS 3D-printed phantoms compared to real tissues using Monte Carlo simulations in radionuclide therapy.
A phantom representing average liver and lung volumes, with a 10 mm tumor mimic in the liver, was simulated for radioembolization using 1 mCi Tc-99 m and 1 mCi Y-90. The dose distribution (DD) was compared across PLA, ABS, and real organ densities.
For Tc-99 m, PLA showed a + 5.6% DD difference in the liver, and ABS showed - 35.3% and - 40.9% differences in the lungs. For Y-90, PLA had a + 1.7% DD difference in the liver, while ABS showed - 34.2% and - 34.9% differences in the lungs.
In MC simulation, PLA is suitable for representing high-density tissues, while ABS is appropriate for simulating moderately low-density tissues.
本研究使用蒙特卡罗模拟评估放射性核素治疗中聚乳酸(PLA)和丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物(ABS)3D打印体模与真实组织相比的剂量测定准确性。
模拟一个代表平均肝脏和肺体积的体模,肝脏中有一个10毫米的模拟肿瘤,使用1毫居里的锝-99m和1毫居里的钇-90进行放射性栓塞模拟。比较了聚乳酸、丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物和真实器官密度下的剂量分布(DD)。
对于锝-99m,聚乳酸在肝脏中的剂量分布差异为+5.6%,丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物在肺中的差异为-35.3%和-40.9%。对于钇-90,聚乳酸在肝脏中的剂量分布差异为+1.7%,而丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物在肺中的差异为-34.2%和-34.9%。
在蒙特卡罗模拟中,聚乳酸适用于代表高密度组织,而丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物适用于模拟中等低密度组织。
