Abstract
MR Image Based Brachytherapy for cervical cancer was introduced in May 2006 at Tata Memorial Hospital. Our initial experience of patients treated with MR Based Brachytherapy between May 2006 to December 2007 has been enterprising. This included guidelines for contouring, development of MR Imaging protocol, applicator identification and reconstruction, planning, data interpretation and reporting. This was associated with a short learning curve. In our experience, our HR-CTV volumes are higher, total doses to D90 lower, rectal doses within tolerance limits while doses to bladder and sigmoid are higher. With this experience and expertise, our centre has been recognized for participation in the Multicentric EMBRACE Study.
