Abstract
A deformable radiotherapy phantom can be produced using an additive manufacturing process, based on a medical image of the patient. The deformable phantom can include dosimeters for measuring radiation dose distribution. A smart material can allow deformation in response to an applied stimulus. Among other things, the phantom can be used to validate radiation dose warping, a radiotherapy treatment plan, to determine a maximum acceptable deformation of the patient, to validate a cumulative accuracy of dose warping and deformable image registration, or the like.
