Abstract:PurposeTo characterize 3D‐printed stainless steel metal samples in the presence of an Iridium‐192 source for organ‐at‐risk sparing in gynecologic brachytherapy.MethodsSamples of 3D‐printed stainless steel (5.5 × 5.5 cm2, thickness range 1–5 mm) were embedded in a solid water phantom at varying distances from source catheters. An Ir‐192 brachytherapy source was passed through the phantom and the dose was measured using EBT3 Gafchromic film. The film was initially positioned in the sagittal plane 2 cm away from … Show more
