3D printing in modern radiotherapy provides creative autonomy which can be a valuable tool for use in brachytherapy source calibration. Radiotherapy centres may verify their brachytherapy source strength with a calibrated Farmer chamber. For this purpose, a jig was designed, 3D printed and commissioned for in-air source strength calibration. Measurements on four afterloaders with varied equipment and environments were completed. A full uncertainty budget was developed and measurements with the in-air jig were consistently within 3% of the certificate source strength. By creating a jig that is able to be customised to multiple catheter sizes and cylindrical chamber designs, centres can be provided with the option of independently checking their source strength with ease and for little cost.

For reasons of space, I refer here only to works published in English within the last decade. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, nor should it be implied that this trend is limited to English-language scholarship. Indeed, the concepts of modernity and colonial modernity have proven similarly stimulating among Korean-language scholarship as well. For an overview of some of the discussion of modernity within South Korean scholarship, see
