Innovations in brachytherapy

open access: yesTaiwan Journal of Ophthalmology
Plaque brachytherapy plays an essential role in the management of intraocular tumors, allowing localized treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. Since the earliest reports of sutured radon seeds used in glioma treatment in the 1920s,

Numerical Investigation of a Dual‐Mode Shape Memory Alloy Stent Enabling Secondary Expansion via Focused Ultrasound: A Potential Strategy for Correcting In‐Stent Restenosis

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
This study demonstrates a novel noninvasive strategy to treat in‐stent restenosis using focused ultrasound. A shape memory alloy stent initially expands at body temperature. If restenosis occurs, targeted ultrasound heating thermally actuates the stent, enabling a secondary expansion to reopen the blocked vessel, offering a potential alternative to ...

Forty-year prognosis after plaque brachytherapy of uveal melanoma [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
AbstractIn this study, the long-term patient survival after plaque brachytherapy of uveal melanoma is examined. All patients treated between 1980 and 1999 at a single institution were included (n = 677). 533 (79%) had deceased before the end of follow-up. The median follow-up for the 144 survivors was 25.4 years (SD 5.2).

Knowledge based automated planning for non‐coplanar VMAT stereotactic radiosurgery in ocular malignancies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background and purpose Stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to enucleation in the management of ocular malignancies. SRS/SRT planning is time‐consuming, complex, and the plan quality depends on the experience of the treatment planner.

Plaque‐adaptive flexible film dosimetry system for Ru‐106 plaque brachytherapy commissioning and quality assurance

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Ruthenium‐106 (Ru‐106) plaque brachytherapy is an established treatment modality for choroidal melanoma that delivers localized beta radiation while sparing surrounding ocular structures. It is widely used in Europe and parts of Asia, whereas COMS Iodine‐125 and Palladium‐103 plaques remain the standard in the United States. However,
