A Study of Dosimetric Evaluation and Feasibility of Image Guided Intravascular Brachytherapy in Peripheral Arteries

2004 
This work involves the conception of the experimental dosimetric testing setup of an image based procedure for intravascular brachytherapy by 192Ir seed in peripheral arteries. After making sure of the suitability of the basis dosimetry data used for dose calculation, the treatment sequence as a whole has been tested in a customized tissue-equivalent phantom. The method is based on the use of CT preoperative images and 2D intra-operative radiographs. Experimental dosimetric results agree with the planning and demonstrate the feasibility of the procedure.
