Clinical implementation of a new HDR brachytherapy device for partial breast irradiation.
PURPOSE To present the clinical implementation of a new HDR device for partial breast irradiation, the Strut-Adjusted Volume Implant (SAVI), at the University of California, San Diego. METHODS AND MATERIALS The SAVI device has multiple peripheral struts that can be differentially loaded with the HDR source. Planning criteria used for evaluation of the treatment plans included the following do...
متن کاملMonte Carlo investigation on precise dosimetry of HDR breast brachytherapy with Accuboost
Introduction: Accuboost is a HDR brachytherapy system in early stages breast cancer treatment. This device provides a completely noninvasive procedure with parallel-opposed radiation from two immobilizing peripheral applicators that caused it a preferred option of modalities to choose. In most commercial treatment planning systems, tissues are considered as a simple water phan...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dose Distribution Accuracy in HDR Brachytherapy of Esophagus Cancer Based on MRI Normoxic Polymer Gel Dosimetry
Introduction: The purpose of this work was to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry for evaluating the dose distribution in HDR brachytherapy of esophagial cancer at Imam Reza brachytherapy center (Mashhad, Iran). Materials and Methods: Initially, 2liters of normoxic gel (MAGIC) was fabricated and then poured into 12 calibration test tubes and placed in a perspex walled phanto...
متن کاملComparison of planning techniques when air/fluid is present using the strut‐adjusted volume implant (SAVI) for HDR‐based accelerated partial breast irradiation
The presence of air/fluid surrounding implantable devices used for partial breast irradiation may significantly impact dose coverage to at-risk tissue. Of the 67 total patients retrospectively evaluated for this study, 32 (48%) had greater than 1 cc volume of air/fluid extending outside of the strut-adjusted volume implant (SAVI) device surface and were selected for comparison of planning appro...
متن کاملGafchromic film dosimetry of a new HDR 192Ir brachytherapy source
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a popular modality for treating cancers of the prostate, cervix, endometrium, breast, skin, bronchus, esophagus, and head and neck as well as soft-tissue sarcomas. Because of different source designs and licensing issues, there is a need for specific dosimetry dataset for each HDR source model. The main objective of the present work is to measure 2D relativ...
