Clinical Implementation of Automated ICRU 89 Reporting for Definitive Management of Cervical Cancer with Intracavitary Brachytherapy

For 3D-image guided adaptive brachytherapy in cervical cancer, the current standard of ICRU 89 recommends recording numerous dose parameters. Conventionally, dosimetric parameters from a plan are reviewed and then manually entered into a spreadsheet for cumulative dose analysis. This process is error-prone and poses a significant challenging in a routine clinical practice given the large amount of data recommended by ICRU 89. To address these problems, we have developed an Autobrachy system to automatically document ICRU 89 dosimetric parameters.
