Abstract Background Biopsy‐level dose interpretation after high‐dose‐rate prostate brachytherapy is limited by localization uncertainty, and separate voxelwise Monte Carlo summaries do not explicitly account for the axial spatial correlation present along a biopsy core.

Spot size reduction and minibeam creation in a proton PBS nozzle using multipole permanent magnets
Abstract Background Smaller spot sizes in pencil beam scanning (PBS) nozzles are generally desired to allow more conformal treatments and to spare normal tissue and organs at risk. The production of small diameter proton beams, especially proton minibeams, is challenging because long drift spaces in standard PBS nozzles exacerbate effects of MCS and ...

Biological effective doses in the intracavitary high dose rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the decrease of biological equivalent dose and its correlation withlocal/loco-regional control of tumour in the treatment of cervical cancer when the strength of the Ir-192 high dose rate(HDR) brachytherapy ...
