Abstract:
The authors evaluated the feasibility of using digital fluoroscopic images for device placement verification and dosimetric planning for gynecologic brachytherapy. Adequate images were obtained rapidly, and the limited pincushion distortion on digital fluoroscopic images produced negligible variations in brachytherapy dose calculations compared with those calculated with standard radiographs. Intraoperative digital fluoroscopy can facilitate both placement verification and dosimetric planning for gynecologic brachytherapy.
