This study quantifies how two inverse optimization-based planning parameters: dwell time deviation constraint (DTDC) and active step size (AS) affect target coverage, dose heterogeneity, and organ‑at‑risk (OAR) doses in prostate high dose rate (HDR) brachythe...

This study reports on a comprehensive MRI-only intracavitary brachytherapy (MR-ICB) commissioning framework with quantitative isodose-based validation against CT.

Traditionally, shielding design in PET facility relies on manually interpolating semi-logarithmic transmission curves from NCRP 147 and AAPM TG 108. This process is time-consuming and varies depending on the user. This study introduces a new, fully automated...
