The use of trans-applicator intracavitary ultrasonography in brachytherapy for cervical cancer: phantom study of a novel approach to 3D image-guided brachytherapy

Purpose: To assess the feasibility of applying trans-applicator intracavitary ultrasonography to image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Material and methods : For this experiment, a phantom was created and included a polyethylene tube, intended to simulate a tandem applicator, which wa...
