Construction of equipment for the Oncology Center of the Bank of Cyprus

19/01/2022

Youth Makerspace Larnaka was very happy to contribute to the important work of the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Center. Specifically, using the technological equipment available at the venue, a prototype custom-made dipper was designed and printed. Nuclear medicine dose calibrators are used to evaluate the radioactivity administered to patients. These devices consist of a cylindrical gas ion chamber between two conductive electrodes. Radioactive materials are placed in syringes or vials and must be dipped into the cylindrical container to be properly evaluated. In the BOCOC, the calibrator is built into a specially designed isolator with a narrower cylindrical opening for the dipper. For this reason, a custom-made dipper had to be designed and 3D printed to fit the center’s needs.

We thank the Bank of Cyprus Oncology Center for allowing us to help in our way!
