Brachytherapy can deliver high doses to the target while sparing healthy tissues due to its
steep dose gradient leading to excellent clinical outcome. Treatment accuracy depends on …

Simulation has emerged as an effective solution to increasing modern constraints in surgical
training. It is recognized that a larger proportion of surgical complications occur during the …

Purpose To report on the accuracy of an in vivo dosimetry (IVD)‐based source tracking (ST)
method for high dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (BT). Methods The ST was …

Background Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) is a promising technology that holds great
potential to advance patient‐specific pre‐treatment verification in interstitial brachytherapy …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of departmental planning
techniques on appropriate in‐vivo source tracking error thresholds for high dose rate (HDR) …

Brachytherapy is an effective treatment in the curative management of prostate and
gynaecological cancers. With advances in technology, brachytherapy has increased in …

Introduction In vivo dosimetry (IVD) can be used for source tracking (ST), ie, estimating
source positions, during brachytherapy. The aim of this study was to exploit IVD-based ST to …

Introduction This study focuses on the quantification of and current guidelines on the
hazards related to needle positioning in prostate cancer treatment:(1) access restrictions to …

Purpose To compare the dose measured by MOSkin dosimeters coupled to a trans-rectal
ultrasound (TRUS) probe to the dose predicted by the brachytherapy treatment planning …

Purpose Source tracking is becoming a more widely used approach in HDR brachytherapy
treatment verification. While it provides a sensitive method to detect deviations from the …
