Demonstrates a dosimetric system for brachytherapy, enhancing dose accuracy in treatment planning for hospitals.
In brachytherapy software defines the experimental configuration of radioactive seeds appropriate to achieve the desired dose distribution in the patient.We will show you how nowadays it is possible to develop a software for brachytherapy which achieves the goal of high accuracyand speed thanks to the combination of various software toolkits: Geant4 simulation toolkit, AIDA analysis toolkit, GRID and the web. Geant4-based brachytherapy application calculates dose distribution in tissues with great accuracy, in a realistic experimental set-up derivedfrom CT data. The AIDAanalysis toolkit provides the elaboration of simulation results. It is possible to run Geant4-based brachytherapy application through a web portal, sharing distributed computing resources thanks to the integration in the GRID, making possible even to modest size hospitals to profit of advanced treatment planning tools.
