Abstract:PurposeThis retrospective analysis was completed to investigate the use of a model‐based dose calculation algorithm (MBDCA) AcurosBV, for use in HDR BT treatments for locally advanced cervical cancer treated with tandem and ovoid applicators with interstitial needles.MethodsA cohort of 32 patients receiving post‐EBRT HDR brachytherapy boost with a prescription dose of 5.5 Gy × 5 fractions to the high‐risk clinical target volume (CTVHR) were selected for this study. For standard TG43 dose calculation, applicato… Show more
