Feasibility and clinical implementation of MRI-guided surface brachytherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The sub-millimeter accuracy of dwell positions and high DSC's (> 0.95) of the phantom demonstrated that digitization was clinically acceptable, and accurate treatment plans were produced using MR-only imaging. This novel approach, MRI-guided SABT, will lead to individualized prescriptions for potentially improved patient outcomes.PMID:38584885 | PMC:PMC10993898 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2024.135647 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)
