Use of Thermoluminescence Dosimetry for QA in High-Dose-Rate Skin Surface Brachytherapy with Custom-Flap Applicator

Use of Thermoluminescence Dosimetry for QA in High-Dose-Rate Skin Surface Brachytherapy with Custom-Flap Applicator

Surface brachytherapy (BT) lacks standard quality assurance (QA) protocols. Commercially available treatment planning systems (TPSs) are based on a dose calculation formalism that assumes the patient is made of water, resulting in potential deviations between planned and delivered doses.
