Use of 3D transabdominal ultrasound imaging for treatment planning in cervical cancer brachytherapy: Comparison to magnetic resonance and computed tomography

To evaluate if the addition of 3D transabdominal ultrasound (3DTAUS) imaging to computed tomography (CT) can improve treatment planning in 3D adaptive brachytherapy when compared with CT-based planning alone, resulting in treatment plans closer to the ones obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based planning.
