Comparative analysis between interstitial brachytherapy and stereotactic body irradiation for local ablation in liver malignancies

Interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy (BT) is an alternative treatment option to stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the ablative treatment of liver malignancies. The aim of the present comparative planning study was to reveal the possibilities and limitations of both techniques with regard to dosimetric properties.
