Transverse dose profile simulation of extruded lines for a 3D printed models for superficial skin cancer therapy
The short-range and sharp dose fall-off of beta particles in tissue make them an interesting option for use in the radiation therapy of superficial skin tumors. This can be used to protect bony or other sensitive structures located right beneath the tumor. In a previous study, we studied the feasibi...

The short-range and sharp dose fall-off of beta particles in tissue make them an interesting option for use in the radiation therapy of superficial skin tumors. This can be used to protect bony or other sensitive structures located right beneath the tumor. In a previous study, we studied the feasibility of using 3D printing technology to create 2D radioactive models for the treatment of skin tumors. In the current study, the Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the transverse dose profile form 3D printed extruded line containing yttrium-90 (Y-90) particles. The time and activity required for treating a superficial skin tumor using these extruded lines were also calculated. |
