Conclusions / Tanya Kairn, Scott B. Crowe and Tomas Kron.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. Part of IOP Series in Global Health and Radiation Oncology.Professionals in radiation oncology departments, as well as biomedical engineering, radiology, nuclear medicine and others who aim to use additive manufacturing in a hospital of clinical environment.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Professor Tanya Kairn PhD is the Director of Medical Physics for Cancer Care Services at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Metro North Hospital and Health Service, Brisbane, Australia. Professor Kairn has over 150 papers in refereed journals, including 20 papers on applications of 3D printing in radiation therapy. The use of novel 3D printing techniques for the benefit of cancer patients remains an important focus of Professor Kairn's research. Professor 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. Professor 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. Professor 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. Professor 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.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 4, 2024).
