MRI-Guided Planning for Pelvic Brachytherapy By Florian Putz, M.D. (Department of Radiation Oncology, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany) At University Hospital Erlangen, Germany, MRI plays a central role in the planning of pelvic brachytherapy. After applicator implantation, a planning MRI is performed on the 1.5T MAGNETOM Sola RT Pro Edition, which is conveniently located within the radiation oncology department. This setup enables streamlined workflow between the procedure area and the HDR treatment rooms. The MR-in-RT working group at University Hospital Erlangen shares their MRI protocols for pelvic brachytherapy. Developed in accordance with the GEC-ESTRO recommendations, these protocols include 3D sequences such as T2-SPACE and T1-VIBE Dixon. Together, they provide excellent visualization of the target volume, organs at risk, and applicators, supporting accurate and reproducible treatment planning.

Brachytherapy for Brain Metastases As long-term cancer survival outcomes improve, the brain has increasingly become a site of refractory and recurrent disease.

MSK experts are investigating whether #brachytherapy may be an effective treatment option for reducing local recurrence, lowering the risk of #necrosis associated with standard #radiation, and improving the quality of life for patients with brain #metastases. Learn more ⬇️

📣 What do you need from industry to advance #brachytherapy? Clinicians, physicists, RTTs & researchers, share your input!
📌Results will be discussed at the GEC-ESTRO Workshop 2025 (19–20 Nov, Belgrade).
