Optimisation in HDR brachytherapy [PDF]
Reports of Practical Oncology, 1997 New HDR machines supplied with stepping source systems give us an additional opportunity to optimise source distribution by modeling source dwell time. Different optimization algorithms are implemented in the commercial planning systems connected with HDR machines.

Practical Considerations for Prostate HDR Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy, 2010A process for prostate high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy was developed and implemented successfully in the community hospital setting. The practical aspects of the program are reviewed and may serve as a foundation for clinics interested in offering this clinical service.A generic needle distribution geometry was established to accommodate target ...

Brachytherapy has become an essential pillar in all-stages of localized prostate cancer, where dose escalation has been demonstrated to improve outcome. HDR brachytherapy has evolved over the decades to be administered in 1-2 fractions. As either monotherapy or in combination with external beam, it offers many advantages over other treatment ...

HDR Versus LDR Gynecological Brachytherapy Revisited
Medical Dosimetry, 1993Despite the obvious breakthrough of high dose-rate (HDR) afterloading systems on the gynecological brachytherapy market, questions still remain regarding the transfer of available expertise gained throughout the last 80 years with low dose-rate (LDR) radium and cesium, especially regarding the conversion of LDR total dose into equivalent HDR dose per ...

34. Optimization in HDR gynecological brachytherapy
Physica Medica, 2017Introduction The distal vagina HDR brachytherapy is the final treatment of cervical cancer, as a complementary treatment to surgery and/or external radiation therapy. The goal of this study was to evaluate the coverage of the Clinical Target Volume and the maximum dose received by the Organs at Risk, related to the rectal volume and the optimization ...
