Abstract: The application of the 3D printing technique for the development of low-cost phantoms is being investigatedrecently and requires a complex study of the interaction of printed materials with different types and qualities ofradiation, as well as the characterization of printing filaments to correctly simulate human tissue attenuation.This study aims to present the Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging analysis of a fused filament fabrication (FFF)3D printed anthropomorphic neck-thyroid phantom. The commercial phantom ATOM MAX 711 from CIRS wasused as anatomy of reference for the 3D modeling base of the neck-thyroid phantom. Commercially available PLAand ABS XCT-A validated at IPEN were used in the 3D printing process in order to simulate soft and bone tissuesrespectively. The printing process was done using the RAISE3D PRO 2 FFF printer from IPEN. The imaging studyof the phantom was performed through the analysis of images from a CT acquisition, comparing the HounsfieldUnits (HU) numbers of the tissues between both CIRS and 3D printed phantoms. The developed phantom is afeasible alternative and presents some desirable characteristics for applications in radiation protection, measurements of radioisotopes incorporated in the thyroid (both contamination counters and nuclear medicinedetectors) and training of techniques of acquisition of images with X rays.
