Abstract Purpose This retrospective analysis was completed to investigate the use of a model‐based dose calculation algorithm (MBDCA) AcurosBV, for in HDR BT treatments locally advanced cervical cancer treated with tandem and ovoid applicators interstitial needles. Methods A cohort 32 patients receiving post‐EBRT brachytherapy boost prescription 5.5 Gy × 5 fractions high‐risk clinical target volume (CTV HR ) were selected this study. For standard TG43 calculation, manually digitized on...
To investigate sensitivity of contributing factors to heterogeneity corrections in ocular brachytherapy using iodine-125 (
This paper outlines the commissioning of Varian (VMS, Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) Universal Interstitial Cylinder (UIC) applicator set for Ir-192 HDR brachytherapy. The UIC was commissioned use with CT and MRI a custom phantom designed to avoid introduction water-like materials into needle guide tracks. Various marker strands were investigated determine which allowed most accurate reconstruction source positions.
To design, manufacture, and validate a female pelvic phantom for multi-modality imaging (CT, MRI, US) to benchmark commercial needle tracking system with application in HDR gynecological (GYN) interstitial procedures.A GYN needle-tracking was designed using CAD software model an average uterus from previous patient study, vaginal canal speculum dimensions, rectum accommodate transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. A target volume (CTVHR ) as extension the cervix-uterus complex. Negative space...
