Image-guided brachytherapy in cervical cancer: Experience in the Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra
ConclusionUse of interstitial HDR-BQ guided by RM increased CTV-HR dose and local control, like EMBRACE results. Nodal boost improves RDFS and perhaps OS. (Source: Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy)

Survival after radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
ConclusionsAge, total amount of gross resection, histological type, and use of adjuvant temozolomide influenced survival rate (p < 0.05). The estimated overall survival was 18 months (Kaplan–Meier estimator). Our results corroborated those reported in the literature. (Source: Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy)

Registration methods in radiotherapy
ConclusionsThe primary aim of the medical image registration process is to connect the contents of images. What we want to achieve is a complementary or extended knowledge that can be used for more precise localisation of pathogenic lesions and continuous improvement of patient treatment. Therefore, the choice of imaging mode is dependent on the type of clinical study. It is impossible to visualise all anatomical details or functional changes using a single modality machine. Therefore, fusion of various modality images is of great clinical relevance. A natural problem in analysing the fusion of medical images is geographic...
