Is model-based dose calculation based on cone-beam computed tomography suitable for adaptive treatment planning in brachytherapy?
Model-based dose calculation based on modern CBCT imaging was suitable. However, the found differences between these calculations and the TG-43 formalism should be investigated in dose-outcome analyses. The observed interfractional dosimetric variations revealed the importance of performing treatment quality assurance.
