Clinical Trial: Quality and Safety of Real-Time Brachytherapy Treatments: Clinical Implementation of a Multipoint Scintillation Detector for Treatment Monitoring

U.S., May 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07580651) titled 'Quality and Safety of Real-Time Brachytherapy Treatments: Clinical Implementation of a Multipoint Scintillation Detector for Treatment Monitoring' on March 31.

Brief Summary: This project addresses a key safety gap in High-Dose-Rate (HDR) brachytherapy, where very high, localized radiation doses mean that small geometric deviations in catheter placement or radioactive source positioning can cause clinically significant errors. Incident reports from the Radiation Oncology Incident Learning System (RO-ILS) of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and guidelines from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task ...
