Evaluation of patient dose during multi-catheter insertion in CT-guided interstitial liver brachytherapy

Introduction: Brachytherapy is a type of cancer treatment that involves placing an encapsulated radioactive source either near or directly into the tumour. Liver brachytherapy has been practiced in institutions where multiple catheters are inserted into the liver under CT-guidance. Numerous studies...
