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 …

The purpose of this study was to review the limitations of dose calculation formalisms for
photon-emitting brachytherapy sources based on the American Association of Physicists in …

The introduction of model‐based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) in brachytherapy
provides an opportunity for a more accurate dose calculation and opens the possibility for …

This review aims to showcase the brachytherapy tools and technologies that have emerged
during the last 10 years. Soft-tissue contrast using magnetic resonance and ultrasound …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to validate the PenRed Monte Carlo framework for
clinical applications in brachytherapy. PenRed is a C++ version of Penelope Monte Carlo …

Objective. The Monte Carlo (MC) method provides a complete solution to the tissue
heterogeneity effects in low-energy low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. However, long …
