An easy and novel method for safer brachytherapy: real-time fluoroscopic verification of high-dose-rate (192)Ir source position using a flat-panel detector

Real-time fluoroscopic verification of the active source position during actual treatment is the only established method to prevent high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy events. The challenge is spurious signals from an HDR (192)Ir source that result in image halation, making source positions indiscern...
