title: Comparison of focal boost high dose rate prostate brachytherapy optimisation methods.
abstract: For HDR prostate brachytherapy treatments of 15 Gy to the whole gland plus focal boost, optimisation to either tumour plus margin (F-PTV) or involved sectors was compared. For 15 patients median F-PTV D90 and V150 were 21.0 Gy and 77.2% for F-PTV optimisation and 19.8 Gy and 75.6% for sector optimisation.
