FROM RECONSTRUCTED DICOM IMAGES TO 3D PRINTED MODELS: ANTHROPOMORPHIC DOSIMETRIC PHANTOMS

Abstract

This study explores the construction of anthropomorphic dosimetric phantoms by leveraging Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology and DICOM images processed through the Slicer software. This approach involves segmentation and processing of DICOM data bases of human subjects to extract specific anatomical structures that are to be converted into a format suitable for 3D printing. The objective is to create accurate models for radiation dosimetry applications. These phantoms hold great potential in advancing medical radiation research, allowing for more accurate and personalized assessments of radiation doses in various clinical scenarios.
