Modern Brachytherapy Treatment Planning

For all further steps in RTP-Workflow in BRT, following is given:

• 3D-Model of the patient anatomy − Target(s) − OARs

• 3D-Model of the implant

− Catheter and/or applicators − (Possible and) active source dwell positions ASDPs

• Their Co-Registration

− DICOM-coordinate system

• Dwell times for all ASDPs (Optimization, Inverse/Forward)
