Abstract

ORIGIN is a European H2020 funded research project aimed at improving brachytherapy, a precise type of internal radiotherapy, in the treatment of prostate and gynecological cancer. A novel multichannel optical fibre sensor system has been developed to provide real-time monitoring of the radiation dose delivered to the patient during treatment. Through machine learning algorithms, the radiation source(s) location is determined and a 3D map of the dose delivered to the tumor and nearby organs at risk, e.g. urethra, bladder, rectum, is developed. Real-time in vivo dosimetry allows for a dose-led, patient-oriented treatment plan, leading to enhanced treatment safety and improved patient outcomes.
