Small bowel perforation caused by applicator implantation in high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for recurrent pelvic tumor: a case report [PDF]

, 2020
High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) is widely used for the treatment of pelvic tumors. However, there are a few reports on complications of applicator implantation in HDR-ISBT.

Proof-of-concept of real-time electromagnetic guidance for gynecologic interstitial catheters in high dose rate brachytherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and Purpose: The addition of interstitial needles to intracavitary gynecologic (GYN) high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy has been shown to improve target coverage and organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing.

Monte Carlo assessment of a treatment planning system for intraoperative radiotherapy in the presence of tissue heterogeneities

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Radiance is a Monte Carlo−based treatment planning software integrated into the Intrabeam system for 50‐kVp X‐rays intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). Purpose This study evaluates Radiance accuracy in calculating absorbed dose in IORT of the breast including the effect of tissue heterogeneities.

Macro Monte Carlo dose calculation for very high energy electron (VHEE) radiotherapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Very high energy electron (VHEE) radiotherapy has gained growing interest owing to its potential to reach deep‐seated targets and induce FLASH effect. Dose calculations can be performed using analytical or Monte Carlo (MC) methods. Analytical approaches enable rapid dose computation but suffer from limited accuracy in heterogeneous ...

Development and characterization of a novel, small animal external beam irradiator using a clinical high dose rate brachytherapy source

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Pre‐clinical in vivo characterization is a necessary step in the translation of novel radiotherapeutic interventions to clinical application. In vivo irradiations using a radioactive source like Ir‐192 are challenging due to steep dose gradients and absence of universally available applicators that do not require physical contact or

Development and evaluation of an in vivo dose‐based monitoring system for electron FLASH radiation therapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background FLASH radiotherapy requires further preclinical and clinical investigation to establish its biological effectiveness and define optimal beam parameters. In conventional (CONV) radiotherapy, redundant beam termination systems are a cornerstone ensuring patient safety, yet analogous safeguards for FLASH delivery are not well ...
