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 …
Purpose This study aimed to compare the biological effective doses (BEDs) to clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) for cervical cancer patients treated with high‐dose …

We quantified intra-fractional dose variation and organ movement during CT-based 3D- image guided brachytherapy (3D-IGBT) in cervical cancer patients. Fifteen patients who …
Brachytherapy plays an essential role for the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant disease with radiotherapy. The radiation-emitting sources used for this treatment modality …
In recent years, the use of radioactive Co-60 in high-dose level brachytherapy (HDR-BT) has grown rapidly. This study aims to model the HDR-BT source, precisely the Bebig Co0. A86 …
This chapter discusses the clinical dose calculation methods for patient-specific treatment planning. Generally, TG-43 dose calculation limitations can be attributed to five phenomena …
