Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Background AAPM TG‐43‐based dose calculations for intracranial cesium‐131 (131Cs) brachytherapy ignore patient‐specific heterogeneities, which can affect dose accuracy. This study investigates the dosimetric impact of these heterogeneity effects using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and patient‐specific imaging data.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Background Model‐Based Dose Calculation Algorithms (MBDCAs), such as AcurosBV, have improved dosimetric accuracy in high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy by accounting for medium heterogeneities and variations in scatter conditions. However, their safe and effective clinical implementation requires thorough commissioning, of which end‐to‐end (E2E)

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.

Use of ultrasound in image-guided high-dose-rate brachytherapy: enumerations and arguments
Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2017 Inherently, brachytherapy is the most conformal radiotherapeutic technique. As an aid to brachytherapy, ultrasonography (USG) serves as a portable, inexpensive, and simple to use method allowing for accurate, reproducible, and adaptive treatments.

High dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer
Translational Andrology and Urology, 2018 High dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy involves delivery of a high dose of radiation to the cancer with great sparing of surrounding organs at risk. Prostate cancer is thought to be particularly sensitive to radiation delivered at high dose-rate or at high dose per fraction.
