Advantages of intraoperative implant for interstitial brachytherapy for accelerated partial breast irradiation either frail patients with early-stage disease or in locally recurrent breast cancer [PDF]

, 2021
Purpose: to describe the intraoperative multicatheter implantation technique for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). Secondarily, to evaluate outcomes and toxicity in a series of 83 patients

Dynamic modulated arc therapy (DMAT): A time‐aware, modulation‐steered optimization framework for next‐generation radiotherapy delivery

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Conventional VMAT optimization largely treats delivery time and deliverability as emergent properties of simplified, control‐point‐centric models that often ignore finite acceleration and other dynamic limits. As modern linacs continue to increase maximum axis speeds and dose rates, there is a growing need for a planning paradigm ...

Clinical in‐vivo dosimetry for total skin electron therapy using gafchromic™ EBT4 film

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Total skin electron therapy (TSET) is a standard treatment for cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma. Due to the complex patient positioning and irregular body contours, robust in‐vivo dosimetry (IVD) is essential to verify dose uniformity. While thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are traditional standard, their utility is hindered by labor ...

Dosimetric impact of aperture‐restricted VMAT on heart dose in breast cancer treated with regional nodal irradiation

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is increasingly used for breast and chest wall (CW) treatment with regional nodal irradiation (RNI) because of its ability to sculpt dose around complex target volumes. However, VMAT can increase low‐dose radiation to surrounding normal tissues and particularly increase cardiac dose.

Interstitial brachytherapy guided intensity modulated radiation therapy (IBGIMRT) in cervical cancer: a dosimetric study [PDF]

, 2009
Purpose: Interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) is used as an alternative to intracavitary radiotherapy in the management of cervical carcinoma. We have devised a new technique called interstitial brachytherapy guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IBGIMRT)

A Monte Carlo based dose verification tool for an HDR Ir‐192 brachytherapy source and its evaluation on extremity malignancies

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Background TG‐43 formalism dose calculation for brachytherapy with the homogeneous water‐based assumption is widely used, which can lead to dose inaccuracy in treatment planning. Purpose Extremity malignancies are also treated with high‐dose‐rate (HDR) 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy, a treatment site that has not been specifically ...
