TIMER (gemelli arT Interstitial Multi-imaging pERineal applicator): Dosimetric analysis of homemade device for interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy)
The TIMER<sup>®</sup> applicator enhances dose precision and adaptability in IRT for perineal cancers, outperforming commercial devices in most scenarios. Further refinements and clinical validation will establish its role in advancing IRT protocols.
