The Influence of Au, Gd and I Nanoparticles on Radiation Dose Absorption during High Dose Rate Brachytherapy with 192Ir Source

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
The efficacy of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for cervical cancer is often constrained by the high radiation exposure to the healthy tissues that surround the tumor consequently diminishing the therapeutic benefits of the technique.

HDR Brachytherapy with Surface Applicators: Technical Considerations and Dosimetry

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2004
HDR surface molds offer an alternative radiotherapy modality to electrons for the treatment of skin lesions. Treatment planning and dosimetry are discussed for two types of surface molds used in our clinic. Standard rectangular applicators are used on a variety of sites where surface curvature is minimal.

Real-time source tracking for quality assurance in HDR prostate brachytherapy

, 2015
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is the preferred treatment option for clinically localised prostate cancer. The underlying principle is simple: temporarily inserting a highly radioactive source inside the target volume and moving it through a sequence

Interstitial HDR brachytherapy (HDR-BT) in early stage mobile tongue cancers in young patients – Gliwice experience

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2010
Purpose: In early stage mobile tongue cancer radical radiotherapy offers good local control and organ preservation, which is especially important in the group of young patients. In our department, for many years HDR-BT has been performed in mobile tongue

Alterations of Sexual and Erectile Functions after Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer Based on Patient-Reported Questionnaires

Prostate Cancer
The aim of the study was to compare the side effects of high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) and low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDRBT), with a particular focus on the effects on sexual functions and sexual well-being (PROMOBRA study, NCT02258087 ...

Comparison of radiation shielding requirements for HDR brachytherapy using 169Yb and 192Ir sources

, 2006
169Yb has received a renewed focus lately as an alternative to 192Ir sources for high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Following the results of a recent work by our group which proved 169Yb to be a good candidate for HDR prostate brachytherapy, this work ...

Dosimetric Impact of Applicator Misalignment, Source Mispositioning and Dwell Time Errors in High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy

Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine
Background: High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy delivers focused radiation to tumors using radioactive sources like Ir-192, commonly used in prostate, breast, gynecologic, and skin cancers.

Proof-of-concept of real-time electromagnetic guidance for gynecologic interstitial catheters in high dose rate brachytherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and Purpose: The addition of interstitial needles to intracavitary gynecologic (GYN) high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been shown to improve target coverage and organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing.

3D Printed Surface Applicators for High Dose Rate Brachytherapy

, 2016
HDR surface mould brachytherapy is a technique used to treat various types of skin lesions including basal and squamous cell carcinoma. This work investigates the feasibility of using 3D printed surface applicators for the treatment of HDR brachytherapy.
