Radiation oncologists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a patented plastic sheath applicator device to improve treatment planning and tumor targeting in image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) for uterine and cervical cancer. Currently, high-dose rate brachyther…
— Background
PET-CT scanners have been widely used in the identification of tumors and localization for biopsies due to its superior ability to detect biochemical and physiological functions. However, one of the main limitations of PET-CT is the inability to visualize soft tissues, which may be impor…
