Virtual modelling of novel applicator prototypes for cervical cancer brachytherapy
BACKGROUND Standard applicators for cervical cancer Brachytherapy (BT) do not always achieve acceptable balance between target volume and normal tissue irradiation. We aimed to develop an innovative method of Target-volume Density Mapping (TDM) for modelling of novel applicator prototypes with optimal coverage characteristics. Patients and methods. Development of Contour-Analysis Tool 2 (CAT-2)...
متن کاملLow dose rate brachytherapy using a tandem for cervical cancer
PURPOSE To report the results of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología México, of low dose rate brachytherapy for cervical cancer using only a tandem. A proportion of patients was treated with only a tandem, without ovoids, due to the distorted anatomy because of the tumour or previous external radiation, or sometimes due to physician preference. MATERIAL AND METHODS We report the results of...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

Dosimetric impacts of applicator displacements and applicator reconstruction-uncertainties on 3D image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer
PURPOSE To quantify the dosimetric impact of applicator displacements and applicator reconstruction-uncertainties through simulated planning studies of virtual applicator shifts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty randomly selected high-dose-rate (HDR) titanium tandem-and-ovoid (T&O) plans were retrospectively studied. MRI-guided, conformal brachytherapy (MRIG-CBT) plans were retrospectively generat...
متن کاملUse of a Flexible Inflatable Multi-Channel Applicator for Vaginal Brachytherapy in the Management of Gynecologic Cancer
INTRODUCTION Evaluate use of novel multi-channel applicator (MC) Capri™ to improve vaginal disease coverage achievable by single-channel applicator (SC) and comparable to Syed plan simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight plans were evaluated from four patients with primary or recurrent gynecologic cancer in the vagina. Each received whole pelvis radiation, followed by three weekly trea...
