Dose intercomparisons between computer planning, in-vivo and phantom measurements for Iridium-192 HDR Brachytherapy
During gynaecological high-dose rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT), invivo dosimetry is done to monitor the dose received by the bladder and rectum. This study was aimed at validating the need to do in-vivo dosimetry during ICBT. Thirty patients were recruited to participate in the …

Application and Development of Algebraic Reconstruction Algorithms for High Dose Rate Brachytherapy Gel Dosimetry with Optical Computed Tomography Readout
… specific quality assurance. High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments have become more complex, but patient specific QA has not been adopted. One reason for this is the lack of inexpensive, simple to use, accurate, and complete dosimeters for brachytherapy. Radiochromic gel dosimeters …

New Optimization Technique for Radiation Therapy Planning
… to Gamma Knife radiosurgery and High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR) for prostate cancer. Mathematically, Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a ball-packing process whose goal is to 'pack' some spherical high dose volumes into a tumor volume, while brachytherapy is to find the trajectories of some …

Monte Carlo Analysis and Physics Characterization of a Novel Nanoparticle Detector for Medical and Micro-dosimetry Applications
… consequential to either (i) high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy or (ii) within the small organs and tissue inhomogeneities of mice, obtaining accurate and highly precise dose results can be very challenging, considering commercially available radiation detection tools, such as ion chambers, …
