DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oleg Bezshyyko (TSNUK)\nThe work is dedicated to the
  development of the new capabilities for ensuring radiation protection of 
 individuals undergoing medical exposure in radiation oncology and diagnost
 ic radiology: a) special 3D printer for effective production of anthropomo
 rphic human phantoms\; b) the free  Radiation Therapy Planning System (RTP
 S) for dose calculations in radiation therapy\; c) special open source sof
 tware tools for computer aided education (to teach himself and in dedicate
 d groups) in radiation protection fields.\nThe work is being performed acc
 ording to the main directions of IAEA project RER9147 (Ukrainian part) and
  partly supported by grant 9903 of STCU.\nPresently the firms which produc
 e anthropomorphic phantoms\, use a standard complex technology with limite
 d assortment. Therefore\, phantoms are very expensive\, that doesn’t all
 ow developing extensive network of phantoms for professional training of m
 edical personnel and control of treatment quality. We have proposed to dev
 elop an approach based on a 3D printing tool (with tissue-equivalent “in
 ks” of various types\, large speed and precision) that can provide valid
 ation tests for the whole chain for ionizing radiation in medicine. This t
 echnique will be applicable for radiotherapy and X-ray diagnostics sites a
 nd can provide a new level of professional training for the clinical staff
  and students. \nWe study the possibility to build in Ukraine the pilot pr
 oject of systems for education in cancer hospital and audits in hospitals 
 of therapeutic dose (check of all chain: methods-equipment-personal) by re
 gulatory officers and inspectors using detectorized anthropomorphic phanto
 ms\, produced by 3D printer. Such approaches are possible and for diagnost
 ic radiology.\nPurpose of new free RTPS: a) independent check of dose calc
 ulation by main RTPS for treatment of cancer patients\; b) safe for patien
 ts (because main RTPS does not used) education of students (in medical phy
 sics) and personal of hospitals for obtaining of skills and experience of 
 work with RTPS.\nSpecial open source software tools for computer aided edu
 cation of medical physicists and radiation protection specialists are base
 d on the MOODLE platform.\n\nhttps://indico.koza.if.uj.edu.pl/event/1/cont
