Purpose: Recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)
and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) on dose calculations for …

Brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for several cancer localizations,
minimizing the possibility of unacceptable risks for healthy tissues and providing a more cost …

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 …

Gold nanoparticles can enhance the biological effective dose of radiation delivered to
tumors, but few data exist to quantify this effect. The purpose of this project was to build a …

A prototype of a new dose‐verification system has been developed to facilitate prevention
and identification of dose delivery errors in remotely afterloaded brachytherapy. The system …

In brachytherapy, tissue heterogeneities, source shielding, and finite patient/phantom
extensions affect both the primary and scatter dose distributions. The primary dose is, due to …

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present and evaluate a dose‐verification protocol for
pulsed dose‐rate (PDR) brachytherapy based on in vivo time‐resolved (1 s time resolution) …

Purpose To update and extend version 2 of the Carleton Laboratory for Radiotherapy
Physics (CLRP) TG‐43 dosimetry database (CLRP_TG43v2) for high‐energy (HE,≥ 50 …

In this work, the dose rate distribution of a new high dose rate source (Flexisource used in
the afterloading Flexitron system, Isodose Control, Veenendaal, The Netherlands) is studied …

Purpose: The aim of this work is to validate a deterministic radiation transport based
treatment planning system (TPS) for single brachytherapy source dosimetry in …
