• new sources (radionuclides and eBT) fall in the energy range
sensitive to scatter, requiring advanced BT dose calculations
• new sources and applicators have significant shielding,
not compatible with current TPS based on simple TG-43
• commercially available (Acuros BV and Oncentra ACE) for
192
Ir
(and academic-based TPS) can accurately calculate BT dose
• current and ongoing societal guidance for advanced BT dose calcs
