In vivo dosimetry in pelvic brachytherapy. [PDF]
Br J Radiol, 2022 Brachytherapy is an effective treatment in the curative management of prostate and gynaecological cancers. With advances in technology, brachytherapy has increased in complexity in recent years. Human error, equipment malfunction, patient organ motion and radioactive source displacement can result in substantial deviation of delivered dose from ...
