Abstract Objective To compare the preoperative and postoperative dosimetric results of radioactive seed implantation assisted by 3D printing template in the treatment of chest malignant tumor, and to examine the effect this technique on the precision of radioactive seed implantation. Methods A total of 21 patients who received 3D printing template-assisted CT-guided 125I seed implantation for chest tumors in 2016 were included in the study. The prescribed dose of the treatment was 110-180 Gy. Preoperative planning, individual template production, and puncture and seed implantation were performed in all patients, and the postoperative dosimetric results were then compared with the preoperative plan by assessing various dosimetric parameters including D90, MPD, V100, V150, CI, EI, and HI of gross tumor volume (GTV), D2cc of the spinal cord and aorta, and Dmean and V20 of the affected side of the lung. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. Results A total of 21 3D printing templates were designed and produced. The mean GTV volume (preoperative) of all patients was 77.1 cm3, and the mean number of implanted seeds was 68. In addition, the mean D90 of the postoperative GTV was 147.3 Gy. There were slight changes in the dosimetric parameters after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusions 3D printing template allows for accurate positioning and implantation of radioactive seeds during the treatment of chest tumor. Postoperative dosimetric parameters were consistent with those in the preoperative planning, indicating that the 3D printing template provides high precision for the treatment of chest tumor.
