Impact of Dose Perturbations Around Brachytherapy Seeds in External-Beam Radiotherapy Planning: A Fundamental and Clinical Validation Using Treatment Planning System-Based Monte Carlo Simulations

Background This study evaluates dose perturbations caused by nonradioactive seeds in clinical cases by employing treatment planning system-based Monte Carlo (TPS-MC) simulation. Methodology We investigated dose perturbation using a water-equivalent phantom and 20 clinical cases of prostate cancer (1...
