Electromagnetic tracking for integrated quality assurance in breast interstitial brachytherapy: The impact of registration method. [PDF]

J Contemp Brachytherapy
Purpose: Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) has great potential as a quality assurance tool in interstitial brachytherapy. Since its clinical application in most cases comprises a comparison with brachytherapy plan data, EMT registration and plan data are ...

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.

A Brachytherapy Plan Evaluation Tool for Interstitial Applications [PDF]

Advances in Bioinformatics, 2014
Radiobiological metrics such as tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) help in assessing the quality of brachytherapy plans. Application of such metrics in clinics as well as research is still inadequate. This study presents the implementation of two indigenously designed plan evaluation modules: Brachy_TCP ...

Improving Reproducibility and Efficiency of Interstitial HDR Brachytherapy Through MRI-based Targeted Innovations [PDF]

, 2023
Interstitial high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a well-established treatment for prostate and gynecological cancers. HDR brachytherapy involves delivery of a high dose of radiation to the target with minimum dose to the surrounding tissue.
