(author), Dankelman, J. (author), van de Berg, N.J. (author)Background: The steep radiation dose gradients in cervical cancer brachytherapy (BT) necessitate a thorough understanding of the behavior of afterloader source cables or needles in the curved channels of (patient-tailored) applicators. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop and validate computer models to simulate: (1) BT source...journal article 2024

(author), Kolkman–Deurloo, Inger–Karine K. (author), Nout, Remi A. (author)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although MRI-based image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) has resulted in favorable outcomes, it can be logistically complex and time consuming compared to 2D image-based brachytherapy, and both physically and emotionally intensive for patients. This prospective study...journal article 2024
