Verification of treatment plans by mathematical formulas for single catheter HDR brachytherapy.

H Kubo1.   

Abstract

In high dose-rate brachytherapy, 500 to 1000 cGy will be given in a matter of minutes. Therefore, careful treatment planning and accurate verification of the plan is critical. To expedite the plan verification procedure, simple mathematical formulas were derived in our previous paper for single catheter treatments on a Nucletron microSelectron system. In this paper, the usefulness and limitations of these formulas for the plan verification procedure are further discussed.
