Seed localization in eye plaque brachytherapy [PDF]

Medical Physics, 1998
We describe a simple method for localizing seeds in eye plaques used for brachytherapy treatment of intraocular tumors and age‐related macular degeneration. The method is based on obtaining magnified photocopy images of plaques with seeds in place and then using simple geometrical considerations to reconstruct seed coordinates with about 2% accuracy. A

Treatment planning considerations for ¹²⁵I eye plaque brachytherapy. [PDF]

J Contemp Brachytherapy, 2019
Effective cancer brachytherapy requires a treatment plan that delivers high-dose to tumor, while minimizing the dose to critical normal tissues. Therefore, an accurate knowledge of the sources and magnitude of the techniques is essential for producing robust and well optimized-plans. The purpose of this technical note is to establish general procedures
