Optimally placing interstitial needles for hybrid intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) gynecologic brachytherapy requires time and expertise. Previously reported 3D-printed templates (TARGIT and TARGIT-FX, Tandem Anchored Radially Guided Interstitial Templates, Flexible and eXtended) guide needles to dosimetrically beneficial positions, which simplifies procedures, decreases procedure time, improves needle distribution and optimizes dosimetry. A subset of patients with extreme or unique tumor topologies required needle positions outside of the standard TARGIT-FX options.
