Dosimetric Comparison of Isodose Surface Volume and Total Reference Air Kerma (TRAK) based Volume in Cervical Cancer Brachytherapy

CONCLUSION: Volumes calculated by TRAK correlate with TPS obtained volumes significantly and the formula predicting isodose surface volumes within 10% accuracy for ICBT applications and not for pure interstitial implants. However, TRAK fails to correlate with surrogate point A, bladder and rectal doses hence has questionable utility as a marker for biological response & treatment intensity.PMID:38415545 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.2.587
