Patient-specific absorbed dose calculations for molecular radiotherapy require accurate activity quantification. This is commonly derived from Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging using a calibration factor relating detected counts to known in phantom insert.A series of inserts, based on the mathematical models underlying many clinical dosimetry calculations, have been produced 3D printing techniques.
