Advanced Physics for Brachytherapy 2018

Tracking in Brachytherapy?

• Position of needle, catheter or applicator in real-time

➢

Angulation/rotation

➢

On the fly decision -> replanning

• Automated, fast and accurate channel reconstruction ➢ Wrong connection between transfer tube and afterloader

• Potentially tracking organ motion/deformation

• Enabling new brachytherapy and interventional procedures
