Abstract
Dosimetric intra-fraction uncertainties in MRI-guided brachytherapy were analysed for HR-CTV and OARs. While dose differences were generally small, individual outliers occurred. In contrast to HDR, patients treated with PDR show increased mean rectal dose over time. Re-imaging prior to dose delivery helps to detect unfavorable anatomical changes, and allows for intervention.
