Mobile CT and CBCT systems improve flexibility and reduce patient transport burden in HDR gynecologic brachytherapy. However, competition for imaging resources remains a practical limitation. This work evaluates the Varian Ethos linear accelerator equipped wi...
While reinforcement-learning (RL) based needle placement optimization has been explored in prostate brachytherapy, its application to gynecologic high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy remains limited. This work presents a reinforcement learning based framework f...
To investigate the suitability of three different materials as background media for use with in-house phantoms for HDR interstitial brachytherapy. In-house phantoms are designed to supplement commercial phantom capabilities and enable interstitial needle plac...
Reference dosimetry forms the foundation of accurate dose delivery in radiation therapy. Two primary calibration protocols dominate clinical practice: AAPM’s TG-51, used throughout North America and select countries, and IAEA’s TRS-398, adopted widely across...
