Multiple direction needle-path planning and inverse dose optimization for robotic low-dose rate brachytherapy

Purpose: Robotic systems to assist needle placements for low-dose rate brachytherapy enable conformal dose planning only restricted to path planning around risk structures. We report a treatment planning system (TPS) combining multiple direction needle-path planning with inverse dose optimization al...
