Brachytherapy can deliver high doses to the target while sparing healthy tissues due to its
steep dose gradient leading to excellent clinical outcome. Treatment accuracy depends on …

Dosimetry of ionising radiation is a well-established and mature branch of physical sciences
with many applications in medicine and biology. In particular radiotherapy relies on …

The error types during brachytherapy (BT) treatments and their occurrence rates are not well
known. The limited knowledge is partly attributed to the lack of independent verification …

Brachytherapy is employed to treat a wide variety of cancers. However, an accurate
treatment verification method is currently not available. This study describes a pre-treatment …

Purpose High-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy treatment is usually delivered in one
or a few large dose fractions. Poor execution of a planned treatment could have significant …

Purpose: To identify achievable camera performance and hardware needs in a clinical
Cherenkov imaging system for real‐time, in vivo monitoring of the surface beam profile on …

The transportation accuracy of sealed radioisotope sources influences the therapeutic effect
of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. We have developed a pinhole imaging system for …

Purpose The aim of this study is to perform three‐dimensional (3D) source position
reconstruction by combining in vivo dosimetry measurements from two independent detector …

Purpose High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy rapidly delivers dose to targets with steep
dose gradients. This treatment method must adhere to prescribed treatment plans with high …

Purpose: This study presents an adaptive error detection algorithm (AEDA) for real‐timein
vivo point dosimetry during high dose rate (HDR) or pulsed dose rate (PDR) brachytherapy …
