A GPU-based multi-criteria optimization algorithm for HDR brachytherapy [PDF]

, 2019
Currently in HDR brachytherapy planning, a manual fine-tuning of an objective function is necessary to obtain case-specific valid plans. This study intends to facilitate this process by proposing a patient-specific inverse planning algorithm for HDR prostate brachytherapy: GPU-based multi-criteria optimization (gMCO).

MRI/TRUS data fusion for brachytherapy [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery 2, 3 (2006) 256-61, 2007
BACKGROUND: Prostate brachytherapy consists in placing radioactive seeds for tumour destruction under transrectal ultrasound imaging (TRUS) control. It requires prostate delineation from the images for dose planning. Because ultrasound imaging is patient- and operator-dependent, we have proposed to fuse MRI data to TRUS data to make image processing ...
