Abstract

<abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="author" id="ab005"> <title id="st080">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="sp0005">Two different end-to-end procedures were tested for real-time planning in breast HDR brachytherapy treatment. Both methods are using a 3D ultrasound (3DUS) system and a freehand catheter optimization algorithm. They were found fast and efficient. We demonstrated a proof-of-concept approach for personalized real-time guidance and planning to breast HDR brachytherapy treatments.</p> </sec> </abstract>
