Summary:


This session provides a comprehensive overview of the various imaging modalities used in HDR brachytherapy. It covers MRI, CT, ultrasound, radiographs, and other methods used for pre-treatment, during applicator insertion, and post-treatment imaging. The course explains the importance of choosing the appropriate imaging technique for accurate tumor targeting, applicator placement, and dose delivery. Additionally, the session discusses the combination of multiple imaging modalities to improve treatment accuracy and the use of clinical diagrams to supplement imaging when advanced methods are not available.
