This project investigates the use of low energy photons in brachytherapy, a technique for localized cancer treatment. It aims to improve dosimetry and radiobiological effectiveness by studying the impact of patient geometry and tissue composition on radiation quality.
Cancer is a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity.
Treatment is often performed with radiation therapy.
To assure a good control of the tumour with limited side effect, a very high conformity of the radiation field is needed in the treatments.
This led to the development of very complex treatments using external photon beam.
There is however another, more cost-effective, way to achieve that very high conformity.
For localized tumours, this can be done by inserting radioactive photon…
