DVH-based inverse planning for LDR pancreatic brachytherapy.

This paper presents a new type of inverse planning method for the treatment of pancreatic cancer based on SA. Compared with other LDR inverse planning methods, the method presented here can provide the prescribed dose to the tumor while considering the dose of the organ at risk. Also, the required time is significantly lower than other methods. All the experimental results indicate that this method is ready to be applied in further clinical studies.
