Join Paula Berner, BS, CMD, FAAMD, for the second webinar in the series Brachytherapy 101. This series is designed to look at multiple aspects of brachytherapy with the intent of increasing the attendee’s knowledge base or providing a basic review of brachytherapy principles. This series is suitable for any member of the radiation oncology / brachytherapy team who desires to have a better understanding of brachytherapy. The Basics of Brachytherapy Treatment Planning will cover the following 4 topics; implant localization and source identification, designing a treatment plan for the patient based upon the applicators used, evaluation of dose distributions for tumor coverage and for the doses received to surrounding critical structures, and finally, evaluating the treatment plan in terms of the number of fractions for any future treatments that are to be given to the same site.
