Vaginal tolerance of CT based image-guided high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy for gynecological malignancies
BACKGROUND Purpose of this study was to identify predictors of vaginal ulcer after CT based three-dimensional image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) for gynecologic malignancies. METHODS Records were reviewed for 44 female (14 with primary disease and 30 with recurrence) with gynecological malignancies treated with HDR-ISBT with or without external beam radiation th...
متن کاملComputed Tomography–Guided Interstitial Brachytherapy for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
OBJECTIVE We present a new technique of 3-dimensional computed tomography-guided interstitial (IS) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer, offering a more advantageous clinical treatment approach. MATERIALS/METHODS Interstitial BT was performed using an applicator combining uterine tandem and metal needles; needles were inserted freehand under real-time 3-dimensional computed...
متن کاملClinical implementation of MR‐guided vaginal cylinder brachytherapy
We present an institutional experience on the clinical implementation of magnetic resonance (MR)-guided vaginal brachytherapy using commercially available solid applicator models. To test the fidelity of solid applicator models to digitize vaginal cylinder applicators, three datasets were evaluated. The first included 15 patients who were simulated with CT alone. Next, a water phantom was used ...
متن کاملDevelopment of an open source software module for enhanced visualization during MR-guided interstitial gynecologic brachytherapy
In 2010, gynecologic malignancies were the 4th leading cause of death in U.S. women and for patients with extensive primary or recurrent disease, treatment with interstitial brachytherapy may be an option. However, brachytherapy requires precise insertion of hollow catheters with introducers into the tumor in order to eradicate the cancer. In this study, a software solution to assist interstiti...
متن کاملWE-G-WAB-01: Real-Time Catheter Tracking and Visualization in MR-Guided Brachytherapy.
PURPOSE The challenge of catheter-tip visualization for interstitial needle placement in gynecologic brachytherapy remains unmet. We evaluate an approach to actively track tip locations and visualize catheter trajectories and surrounding soft-tissue in real-time during an intervention. The methods include development of clinical needles with magnetic resonance (MR) tracked microcoils, an MR tra...
