  • Descrição: Purpose Patient‐specific 3D‐printed phantoms have many potential applications, both research and clinical. However, they have been limited in size and complexity because of the small size of most commercially available 3D printers as well as material warping concerns. We aimed to overcome these limitations by developing and testing an effective 3D printing workflow to fabricate a large patient‐specific radiotherapy phantom with minimal warping errors. In doing so, we produced a full‐scale phantom of a real postmastectomy patient. Methods We converted a patient's clinical CT DICOM data into a 3D model and then sliced the model into eleven 2.5‐cm‐thick sagittal slices. The slices were printed with a readily available thermoplastic material representing all body tissues at 100% infill, but with air cavities left open. Each slice was printed on an inexpensive and commercially available 3D printer. Once the printing was completed, the slices were placed together for imaging and verification. The original patient CT scan and the assembled phantom CT scan were registered together to assess overall accuracy. Results The materials for the completed phantom cost $524. The printed phantom agreed well with both its design and the actual patient. Individual slices differed from their designs by approximately 2%. Registered CT images of the assembled phantom and original patient showed excellent agreement. Conclusions Three‐dimensional printing the patient‐specific phantom in sagittal slices allowed a large phantom to be fabricated with high accuracy. Our results demonstrate that our 3D printing workflow can be used to make large, accurate, patient‐specific phantoms at 100% infill with minimal material warping error.
