Reduction of applicator displacement in MR/CT-guided cervical cancer HDR brachytherapy by the use of patient hover transport system
Purpose To quantify the reduction of relative displacement between the implanted intracavitary applicator and the patient bony anatomy, due to the use of a hover transport system during the patient transports between the imaging table and the treatment table. Material and methods The displacement of the applicator inside the patient was measured by comparing the distance between the tip of th...
متن کاملHDR Brachytherapy Dose Distribution is Influenced by the Metal Material of the Applicator
Applicators containing metal have been widely used in recent years when applying brachytherapy to patients with cervical cancer. However, the high dose rate (HDR) treatment-planning system (TPS) that is currently used in brachytherapy still assumes that the treatment environment constitutes a homogeneous water medium and does not include a dose correction for the metal material of the applicato...

متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of a novel high dose rate (HDR) intraluminal / interstitial brachytherapy applicator for gastrointestinal and bladder cancers
High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is one of the accepted treatment modalities in gastro-intestinal tract and bladder carcinomas. Considering the shortcoming of contact brachytherapy routinely used in gastrointestinal tract in treatment of big tumors or invasive method of bladder treatment, an intraluminal applicator with the capability of insertion into the tumor depth seems to be useful. This...
