Member Content

Hybrid interstitial applicators have been shown to be effective at increasing doses to tumors while preserving or lowering normal tissue doses. The insertion process is more complex however and caution is needed to ensure needles are optimally positioned. We will discuss practical aspects of our own hybrid applicator program, including pre-planning using pre-operative imaging, applicator preparation, needles labeling, insertion techniques, use of intraprocedural image guidance including ultrasounds, CT or MRI, and techniques for optimizing and planning. We will walk step by step through two cases with diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology, dosimetry, and physics expert. Questions can be submitted by attendees during the presentation.
