Abstract
Target volume coverage was better for MSB than conventional IB, and it was comparable to conformal IB. The suboptimal coverage for IB patients is due to radiography based planning, which is unable to provide 3D information of the target. Dose homogeneity was somewhat better for MSB than IBCONV, but the dose to skin and lung was higher for MSB. The MSB provides dosimetrically acceptable dose plans. The quality of interstitial implants can be improved with image-guided catheter insertions regarding both homogeneity and conformality.
