Dosimetric Comparison of High Dose Rate Interstitial Brachytherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy As Alternative Treatment Methods for Advanced-Stage Cervical Cancer

High-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-IBT) is an essential component of curative treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), but it is invasive and resource-intensive. Alternative boost techniques are needed when brachytherapy is not feasi...

Dosimetric Impact of Interfractional Anatomical Changes In Syed HDR Brachytherapy: Is Adaptive Planning Required for Every Fraction?

To quantify the dosimetric impact of interfractional anatomical changes in Syed-based high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer by comparing a single-plan (non-adaptive) versus multi-planned adaptive strategy.

Implementation of Raystion Photon Monte Carlo As a Method to Initiate Clinical Expertise for MR-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy

Unity MR-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) relies on a Monte Carlo (MC) photon dose calculation algorithm. Compared with conventional algorithms such as convolution–superposition, or collapsed cone, MC methods more accurately model radiation transport in...
