Advanced Physics for Brachytherapy 2018

Accuracy of source localisation

CT phantom (solid) Siebert et al. R&O 2007

 reconstruction uncertainty (1 SD) < 1.4 mm for 4-5 mm scans < 1.0 mm for 2-3 mm scans

MRI / CT phantom (agarose gel) De Brabandere et al. R&O 2006

 uncertainties for MRI slightly larger than for CT  reconstruction uncertainty < 2 mm for 3-5 mm scans
