PURPOSE: High dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (BT) procedure requires image-guided needle insertion. Given that general anesthesia is often employed during the procedure, minimizing overall planning time is crucial. In this study, we explore t...
BACKGROUND: Poor needle placement in prostate high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) results in sub-optimal dosimetry and mentally predicting these effects during HDR-BT is difficult, creating a barrier to widespread availability of high-quality prost...
BACKGROUND: Recently, high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment plans generation was improved with the development of multicriteria optimization (MCO) algorithms that can generate thousands of pareto optimal plans within seconds. This brings a shi...
