The use of isodose curves on radiographs and on CT scans in interstitial brachytherapy

New combined treatment of surgery, radiotherapy, and reconstruction in head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma in children: The amore protocol

“…With the mold still in place, the imbedded catheters are filled with radiopaque dummies. The orthogonal x-rays and CT scans are used to calculate with computer software the optimal distribution of radiation dose and the desired dose for brachytherapy [24][25][26][27] ( Figure 2). A three-dimensional dose distribution is obtained to ensure equal dose distribution at 5 mm from the surface of the mold.…”

Knowledge domain and emerging trends in brachytherapy: A scientometric analysis

“…[62][63][64] The following factors have had a dramatic impact on clinical results and brachytherapy techniques: (i) the development of new imaging methods; (ii) computer utilization in different stages of brachytherapy, especially treatment design; and (iii) integration of dosimetry methods alongside (i) and (ii). The first papers on the application of threedimensional (3D) imaging in brachytherapy were presented in the 1990s, [65][66][67][68] but implantation of radioactive sources into the prostate gland (prostate brachytherapy) was introduced as a standard treatment method only after the invention and development of semiconductors and the construction of new computer systems. These methods subsequently became an acceptable part of the brachytherapy process to adjust the correct dose.…”
