The dosimetric impact of replacing the TG-43 algorithm by model based dose calculation for liver brachytherapy

Abstract Purpose To compare treatment plans for interstitial high dose rate (HDR) liver brachytherapy with 192Ir calculated according to current-standard TG-43U1 protocol with model-based dose calculation following TG-186 protocol. Methods We retrospectively evaluated dose volume histogram (DVH) par...
