Monte Carlo dosimetry study of novel rotating MRI-compatible shielded tandems for intensity modulated cervix brachytherapy
Abstract
Purpose Intensity modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) with rotating metal shields enables dose modulation that can better conform to the tumor while reducing OAR doses. In this work, we investigate novel rotating shields, compatible with MRI-compatible tandems used for cervix brachytherapy. Three unique shields were evaluated using the traditional 192Ir source. Additionally, 75Se and 169Yb isotopes were investigated as alternative sources. Methods...
