ABSTRACT
Objective To study the impact of implanted thermoseeds of magnetic induction hyperthermia on radiation dose distribution. Methods To simulate irradiation, an anthropomorphic phantom and three-dimensional treatment planning system were used. The impact of thermoseeds on radiation dose distribution was evaluated. Results The change of absorbed dose caused by the implantated thermoseeds was less than 1.5%. Conclusions The impact of implanted thermoseeds on radiation dose distribution is small and comes up to the requirements that the total target dose uncertainty must be less than 5%. Therefore, the impact of thermoseeds on the absorbed dose in tissue can be ignored in clinical practice.
