Advanced Physics for Brachytherapy 2018

Summary

• BT dosimetry in the clinic generally follows the TG-43 formalism – Luc will next show you its limitations and advancements in accuracy

• uniform BT (over time and space) requires standization – consistent formalism (and formats) – consistent dosimetry parameters

– consistent reference data – consistent TPS approach

• HDR/LDR and HE/LE have different planning approaches

• medical physicist must know the data trail and commission the source(s)
