Brachytherapy applicators have come a long way since Danlos developed early
intracavitary applicators to treat cervical cancer patients. Therefore, this review will help in …

Brachytherapy is a mature treatment modality. The literature is abundant in terms of review
articles and comprehensive books on the latest established as well as evolving clinical …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of dose reporting schemes
and tissue/applicator heterogeneities for 192Ir‐, 75Se‐, and 169Yb‐based MRI‐guided …

Objective. Treatment plan optimization in high dose rate brachytherapy often requires
manual fine-tuning of penalty weights for each objective, which can be time-consuming and …

Background Intensity‐modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) is an emerging technology for
cancer treatment, in which radiation sources are shielded to shape the dose distribution. The …

This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of utilizing the HDR 75 Se source for skin cancer
brachytherapy. In this work, based on the BVH-20 skin applicator, two cup-shaped …

Background Intensity modulated brachytherapy based on partially shielded intracavitary and
interstitial applicators is possible with a cost‐effective 169Yb production method. 169Yb is a …

Background Multiple approaches are under development for delivering temporary intensity
modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) using partially shielded applicators wherein the delivered …

Objective. Intensity modulated high dose rate brachytherapy (IMBT) is a rapidly developing
application of brachytherapy where anisotropic dose distributions can be produced at each …

Background To assess the intra-fractional dosimetric variations of image-guided
brachytherapy of cervical cancer. Methods A total of 38 fractions (9 patients) undergoing …
