Resection Cavity Contraction Effects in the Use of Radioactive Sources (1-25 versus Cs-131) for Intra-Operative Brain Implants. [PDF]

, 2018
Background and Objectives Intra-parenchymal brain surgical resection cavities usually contract in volume following low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy implants. In this study, we systematically modeled and assessed dose variability resulting from&

Advantages of real-time transabdominal ultrasound guidance in combined interstitial/intracavitary cervical brachytherapy: a case-based review

Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy, 2021
Sub-optimal placement of both intracavitary devices and interstitial needles is a relatively common occurrence in cervical brachytherapy, which may reduce the accuracy of dose distribution and contribute to adverse toxicities.

An Experimental Study on the Heat Enhancement and the Bio-Heat Transfer Using Gold Macro Road and Ultrasound: A Potential Alternative to Kill Cancer Cells [PDF]

, 2014
We have previously proposed a method of treating solid tumors with a combination of gold macro-rods irradiated with ultrasound. Macro particle sized rods offer a greater circumferential treatment area over nanoparticle options.

Computer-assisted interstitial brachytherapy [PDF]

, 1998
We present the current state-of-the art of computer-assisted interstitial (fractionated) brachytherapy as a “picture-book” without wanting to give an in-depth presentation of either brachytherapy itself or of otolaryngologic aspects of oncologic treatment.

Proton Arc Therapy vs Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy in Gynecologic Cancer with Parametrial/pelvic Side Wall Extension [PDF]

International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2022
Purpose: To investigate whether volumetric-modulated proton arc therapy (VPAT) plans generate comparable doses to organs at risk (OARs) compared with interstitial high– dose-rate (iHDR) brachytherapy for patients with gynecologic cancer with disease ...
