A scintillation dosimeter with real-time positional tracking information for in vivo dosimetry error detection in HDR brachytherapy

CONCLUSIONS: This work demonstrates that integrating EM tracking to in vivo scintillation dosimeters enables the detection of smaller shifts, by decreasing the dosimeter positioning uncertainty. It also serves to perform position-dependent energy correction for the inorganic scintillator,providing better SNR and SBR, allowing detection of errors at greater distances from the source.PMID:37731203 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14150
