Drawbacks of MammoSite applicator
- circular dose distribution in perpendicular plane to balloon axis
- balloon asymmetry leads to asymmetric PTV coverage
- the dose to OARs is determined by their position relative to the applicator
- the only option to reduce dose to the organs at risk (OARs) is by reducing
the prescription dose and hence the target dose
multilumen applicator
