89 poster: Concept, Feasibility and Results of Vaginal Dose Mapping for Different Brachytherapy Treatment Techniques and Dose Rates for Cervical Cancer Patients

Vaginal dose point reporting in cervical cancer patients treated with combined 2D/3D external beam radiotherapy and 2D/3D brachytherapy

“…In addition, uncertainties in the delineation and reconstruction of small wall volumes are still unsolved problems in the currently available treatment planning systems [17,18]. For reproducible and comprehensive reporting of doses to different longitudinal and circumferential parts of the vagina, a 3D vaginal dose map, in analogy to that introduced for reporting rectal dose distributions, has been suggested [19,20]. This vaginal dose map takes into account the contribution of EBRT as well as of BT.…”
