Area of Science:

  • Medical physics
  • Oncology
  • Radiotherapy

Context:

  • High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a cancer treatment.
  • Accurate pre-treatment planning is crucial for effective HDR-brachytherapy.
  • Simulation models can enhance treatment planning.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility of a 3D simulation model in HDR-brachytherapy planning.
  • To demonstrate the application of this model in clinical cases.

Summary:

  • A 3D simulation model, developed using a milling system, was applied to HDR-brachytherapy.
  • The model simulates the 3D structure of lesions and surrounding organs prior to catheterization.
  • Two cases, recurrent prostate cancer and lymph node recurrence of upper gum cancer, were analyzed.
