Effect of a lead block on alveolar bone protection in image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for tongue cancer: using model-based dose calculation algorithms to correct for inhomogeneity

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a lead block for alveolar bone protection in image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for tongue cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We treated 6 patients and delivered 5,400 cGy in 9 fractions using a lead block. Effects of le...
