Abstract
Purpose: 3D-printing has emerged as a promising tool for brachytherapy simulation, training, and research. In brachytherapy for cervix cancer, many patients have tumors or anatomy that do not conform to a standard blocking template for needle alignment. In this pilot study, we sought to create a 3D-printed device that provided customized needle alignment for a patient and developed a 3D-printed mold and anatomical “phantom” model based on a patient CT scan to test the device.
