Automated verification of source dwell position in lunar ovoid applicators

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Background Accurate reconstruction of the source dwell positions in high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy is essential for treatment quality. The Venezia™ gynaecological applicator, with its lunar‐shaped ovoids, poses challenges because conventional dummy markers do not match the actual source path, introducing systematic uncertainties.
