Abstract

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the feasibility of using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) implants in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Postimplant dosimetry was compared with standard stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plans.
