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 …

Purpose The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that brachytherapy source tracking can
be realized with in vivo dosimetry. This concept could enable real-time treatment monitoring …

The oldest form of radiation therapy, brachytherapy, has been investigated and reported in
the scientific and medical literature for well over a century. Known by many names over the …

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

Purpose This study aims to present the performance of a multipoint plastic scintillation
detector (mPSD) as a tool for real‐time dose measurements (covering three orders of …

Purpose The aim of this study is to perform three‐dimensional (3D) source position
reconstruction by combining in vivo dosimetry measurements from two independent detector …

Purpose High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy rapidly delivers dose to targets with steep
dose gradients. This treatment method must adhere to prescribed treatment plans with high …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to simulate treatment planning source positioning
errors in transrectal ultrasound–based real-time high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy …

Objective. Precise monitoring of the position and dwell time of iridium-192 (Ir-192) during
high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is crucial to avoid serious damage to normal tissues …

Brachytherapy has an excellent clinical outcome for different treatment sites. However, in
vivo treatment verification is not performed in the majority of hospitals due to the lack of …
