Abstract:BackgroundIn‐vivo source tracking has been an active topic of research in the field of high‐dose rate brachytherapy in recent years to verify accuracy in treatment delivery. Although detection systems for source tracking are being developed, the allowable threshold of treatment error is still unknown and is likely patient‐specific due to anatomy and planning variation.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine patient and catheter‐specific shift error thresholds for in‐vivo source tracking during high‐d… Show more
