Definition High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy refers to the delivery of a high dose of radiation in a relatively short time compared to low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy . This technology uses a single high-activity radioactive source inserted close to or directly into the tumor site. In ...

Definition This is a brachytherapy technique in which the dose rate is higher than 300 cGy/min; at the present time this is frequently used to replace LDR techniques. Brachytherapy is carried out by using a 192 Ir miniaturized source held in a safe, which would step out, through the ...
The aim of our pilot study was to demonstrate the feasibility and dosimetric quality of MR-guided HDR prostate brachytherapy in a low-field 0.35T open MRI scanner and to present our initial clinical experiences. 16 patiets with intermediate- to high-risk localized prostate cancer were treated wi...

Interstitial brachytherapy is an alternative organ-preserving treatment; however, it is quite invasive and requires inpatient admission. We report our early experience with the use of a custom brachytherapy surface mould for the treatment of penile cancer. Technique A negative impression of the penis ...
