Report of the Task Group 186 on model‐based dose calculation methods in brachytherapy beyond the TG‐43 formalism: Current status and recommendations for clinical implementation

Luc Beaulieu, Åsa Carlsson Tedgren, Jean‐François Carrier, Stephen Davis et al.

Short summary

Task Group 186 (TG-186) recommends transitioning to model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy, which can differ from current methods by over a factor of 10, and proposes a new commissioning process to ensure clinical implementation uniformity.
