Seed/Applicator Model Accuracy
Requirements
•
Patient CT grids (>1 mm voxel) are probably not adequate
for accurate modeling on the spatial scale of
brachytherapy sources and applicators.
•
MBDCA vendors should use analytic modeling schemes or
recursively specify meshes with 1–10
μ
m spatial
resolution.
•
Vendors to disclose their geometry, material assignments,
and manufacturing tolerances to both end users and TPS
vendors (if responsible for data entry and maintenance)
