- High-dose-rate brachytherapy is a promising cancer treatment that destroys cancer cells with radiation delivered through a catheter. We developed a brachytherapy catheter that can be tracked and navigated using real-time MR imaging, ensuring radiation administered in a precise, localised, and effective manner. This work is in collaboration with Harvard Radiology and Johns Hopkins Radiation Oncology and the developed techniques have been applied in Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Contact: Senior Research Scientist) and Johns Hopkins Hospital (Contact: Director and Professor of Radiation Oncology) for brachytherapy routines.
