  • ADVANCED ROTATING-SHIELD BRACHYTHERAPY AND PLANNING OF THE SAME
    Publication number: 20170165500
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rotating shield brachytherapy. In an aspect, some of the systems and methods can be used to facilitate shield selection for use in rotating shield brachytherapy. In an aspect, the invention is a shielded needle or catheter system with a rotational controller for delivering radioisotope-based interstitial rotating shield brachytherapy (I-RSBT). In an aspect, the catheter system can utilize paddle-based RSBT. Further provided are methods and systems for helical RSBT.
    Type: Application

In an aspect, the invention is a shielded needle or catheter system with a rotational controller for delivering radioisotope-based interstitial rotating shield brachytherapy (I-RSBT), In an aspect, I-RSBT needles can deliver dose distributions that can be non-radially symmetric about each needle, enabling reduced doses to sensitive normal tissues. Further provided are methods and systems for selecting an emission angle for use in S-RSBT and for sequencing the rotating shields. Further provided are methods and system for the multiple application of M-RSBT in a single setting.
