Quantifying stent‐induced dose perturbations in intravascular brachytherapy using 3D‐ printed phantoms and film dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is the narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup. A common treatment for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often involving stent placement. However, a common complication or in‐stent restenosis (ISR) can occur in 10%–20% of

High‐dose‐rate interstitial brachytherapy for a bulky sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid: A case report

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
High‐dose‐rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR‐ISBT) achieved excellent local control of the bulky sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid. However, we must pay attention to dose of eyelid and cornea about late toxicity of HDR‐ISBT.
