The charge of Task Group 186 (TG‐186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model‐
based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to …

Following literature contributions delineating the deficiencies introduced by the
approximations of conventional brachytherapy dosimetry, different model-based dosimetry …

This study presents the results of EGSnrc Monte Carlo calculations of the dose distribution
surrounding a high dose rate brachytherapy source and 14 high dose rate and pulsed dose …

Purpose: In order to facilitate a smooth transition for brachytherapy dose calculations from
the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group No. 43 (TG‐43) …

In the last 25 years microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) has emerged as a promising
alternative to conventional radiation therapy at large, third generation synchrotrons. In MRT …

Methods for scatter dose calculations in brachytherapy have been developed based on the
collapsed cone superposition algorithm. The methods account for effects on the scatter dose …
