RFPID: development and 3D-printing of a female physical phantom for whole-body counter.
Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express 2024 May 3
Whole-body counters (WBC) are used in internal dosimetry for in vivo monitoring in radiation protection. The calibration processes of a WBC set-up include the measurement of a physical phantom filled with a certificate radioactive source that usually is referred to a standard set of individuals determined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The aim of this study was to develop an anthropomorphic and anthropometric female physical phantom for the calibration of the WBC systems. The reference female computational phantom of the ICRP, now called RFPID (Reference Female Phantom for Internal Dosimetry) was printed using PLA filament and with an empty interior. The goal is to use the RFPID to reduce the uncertainties associated with in vivo monitoring system. The images which generated the phantom were manipulated using ImageJ®, Amide®, GIMP® and the 3D Slicer® software. RFPID was split into several parts and printed using a 3D printer in order to print the whole-body phantom. The newly printed physical phantom RFPID was successfully fabricated, and it is suitable to mimic human tissue, anatomically similar to a human body i.e., size, shape, material composition, and density.
