    Automatic treatment planning for curietherapy is routine at Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milano. This system reconstructs radioactive implants for accurate dose calculations and visualization, improving radiation therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Radiotherapy Technology

    Context:

    • Curietherapy (brachytherapy) involves placing radioactive sources within or near a tumor.
    • Accurate dose calculation is critical for effective cancer treatment and minimizing side effects.
    • Manual treatment planning can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

    Purpose:

    • To describe an automated system for curietherapy treatment planning.
    • To detail the process of reconstructing radioactive implants from radiographic images.
    • To present the capabilities of the system in generating dose distributions and isodose curves.

    Summary:

    • The Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milano has implemented routine automatic treatment planning for curietherapy.
    • The system reconstructs radioactive implants using orthogonal or stereo-roentgenograms.
