Dosimetric and Clinical Insights In Transitioning from TG-43 to Advanced TG-186 Dose Calculations for Permanent Prostate Brachytherapy
To quantify the dosimetric impact of transitioning from water-based TG-43 dose evaluations to advanced model-based TG-186 calculations in permanent prostate brachytherapy, and to assess the effects on target coverage, organ-at-risk doses, and the appropriaten...

Outcome-Driven HDR Gynecological Brachytherapy Plan Selection Using TCP and NTCP Trade-Offs In Multi-Criteria Optimization
Novel GPU-based multicriteria optimization (gMCO) for high-dose-rate gynecological brachytherapy (GYN-BT) generates large plan pools satisfying EMBRACE-II dosimetric constraints (Pötter et al., 2018). Differentiating plans with comparable dosimetry but potent...
