Purpose Total body irradiation (TBI) in extended source surface distance (SSD) is a common treatment technique before hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The lungs are organs at risk, which often are treated with a lower dose than the whole body. Methods This can be achieved by the application of blocks. Three-dimensional (3D) printers are a modern tool to be used in the production process of these blocks. Results We demonstrate the applicability of a specific printer and printing material, describe the process, and evaluate the accuracy of the product. Conclusion The blocks and apertures were found to be applicable in clinical routine.
