Permanent Breast Seed Implant Dosimetry Quality Assurance

Preplanning dosimetry should aim for a V90 of approximately 100%, a V100 between 95% and 100%, and a V200 between 20% and 30%, as these numbers are associated with no local recurrences to date and good patient tolerance. In general, the target volume coverage improved over the duration of the seed therapy. The maximum skin dose, defined as the average dose over the hottest 1 × 1-cm2 surface area, should be limited to 90% of the prescription dose to minimize delayed skin toxicity.
