Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the feasibility of a three-dimensional (3D) -printed head-and-neck (HN) immobilization device. We prepared a 3D-printed immobilization device (3DID) consisting of a mask and headrest with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin developed from the computed tomography data obtained by imaging a HN phantom. For comparison, a conventional immobilization device (CID) comprising a thermoplastic mask and headrest was prepared using the same HN phantom. We measured the setup error. Furthermore, we measured the changes in the dose due to the difference in the immobilization device material from the photon of 4 and 6 MV. The positional accuracy of the two devices was almost similar. When the thickness was the same, the dose difference was almost similar at a 50 mm depth. At a 1 mm depth, the 3DID-plate had a 2.9-4.2% lower dose than the CID-plate. This study suggested that the positional accuracy and dosimetric properties of 3DID were almost similar to those of CID.
