Abstract
In the CT-based treatment planning for prostate HDR brachytherapy, ABDP is useful to achieve a high conformity, which leads to a reduction of the doses to the bladder, rectum, and surrounding normal tissue. IO is useful to lower the urethral dose without sacrificing conformity. IOABDP is recommended on the basis of the current study. However, this conclusion has been drawn from the idealized hypothetical settings, and some possibility remains that this conclusion is not always applicable to the real implants.
