Purpose To compare treatment plans for interstitial high dose rate (HDR) liver brachytherapy
with 192 Ir calculated according to current-standard TG-43U1 protocol with model-based …

Purpose To study the effect of finite patient dimensions and tissue heterogeneities in head
and neck high dose rate brachytherapy. Methods and materials The current practice of TG …

Purpose Several radionuclides with high (60 Co, 75 Se) and intermediate (169 Yb, 153 Gd)
energies have been investigated as alternatives to 192 Ir for high-dose-rate brachytherapy …

ABSTRACT PURPOSE In this paper we present a further step in the implementation of a
physical phantom designed to generate sets of “true” independent reference data as …

Dose reporting is a matter of concern in the preclinical field as the different dose descriptors
dose-to-water-in-medium and dose-to-medium-in-medium coexist. For kV photons …

The AAPM TG-43 brachytherapy dosimetry formalism, introduced in 1995, has become a
standard for brachytherapy dosimetry worldwide; it implicitly assumes that charged-particle …

Purpose The availability of miniaturized 60 Co sources introduced an alternative to 192 Ir
sources in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy applications, with an advantage in terms of …

Purpose To experimentally assess the performance of the Advanced Collapsed-cone
Engine (ACE) for 192 Ir high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment planning of nonmelanoma …

Abstract Model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) are the current tools to
estimate dose in brachytherapy, which takes into account heterogeneous medium, therefore …
