End-to-end test for computed tomography-based high-dose-rate brachytherapy.

Purpose: One of the important developments in brachytherapy in recent years has been the clinical implementation of complex modern technical procedures. Today, 3D-imaging has become the standard procedure and it is used for contouring and precise position determination and reconstruction of used brachytherapy applicators. Treatment planning is performed on the basis of these imaging methods, followed by data transfer to the afterloading device.
