摘要

In radiotherapy treatments of mobile lesions, several strategies are used to treat the tumour while sparing the surrounding tissues [1]. The ADAM phantom (Anthropomorphic Dynamic breAthing Model) was developed to test dose delivery in lung cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to create ADAM (Anthropomorphic Dynamic breAthing Model - male&female), a new modular phantom based on ADAM, to test free-breathing and deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) breast radiotherapy treatments [2, 3]. The 3D model of ADAM was reconstructed using computed tomography (CT) scans to ensure a high level of anatomical accuracy. This digital model of ADAM served as the starting point for the design and development of ADAM . 3D printable materials with tissue mimicking properties were selected to replicate tissues and organs [4–9]. The torso and chest were printed in PLA and the ribs and spine were printed in PLA StoneFil™ [10]. Tests have shown that ADAM closely mimics human tissue in terms of Hounsfield Units. Its modular structure allows rapid transition between male and female configurations, making it suitable for realistic simulation of many clinical situations. ADAM demonstrates adequate performance for future testing gating and tracking devices in the treatment of moving breast and lung lesions.
