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 …

Brachytherapy has advanced dramatically in the last decade due largely to improvements in
applicators, imaging, treatment planning, and use of clinical trials. In addition, current …

Purpose Intensity modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) is a novel high dose rate brachytherapy
(HDR BT) technique which incorporates static or dynamic shielding to increase tumor …

Purpose To systematically review scientific literature on the use of intensity-modulated
brachytherapy (IMBT), including static and dynamic shielding approaches, to enhance …

Treatment planning in high dose‐rate brachytherapy has traditionally been conducted with
manual forward planning, but inverse planning is today increasingly used in clinical practice …

Purpose To evaluate plan quality of a novel MRI‐compatible direction modulated
brachytherapy (DMBT) tandem applicator using 192Ir, 60Co, and 169Yb HDR …

Purpose To evaluate the possibility of utilizing the high‐dose rate (HDR) 169Yb and 60Co
sources, in addition to 192Ir, for the treatment of skin malignancies with conical applicators …

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

Purpose A brachytherapy (BT) device has been developed with shielding to provide
directional BT for preferentially irradiating malignancies while sparing healthy tissues. The …
