Virtual reality-guided simulation of brachytherapy: Two case reports
VR technology enhances pre-procedural planning, improve multi-disciplinary coordination, and optimize needle placement in brachytherapy for complex anatomical sites. By integrating VR into brachytherapy workflows, treatment precision and safety can be improved across various anatomical regions.
