Brachytherapy Physics

Brachytherapy Physics is a specialized branch of Medical Physics and Radiation Physics that involves the application of ionizing radiation through the precise placement of radioactive sources within or adjacent to targeted tissues to achieve therapeutic dose delivery, distinguished by its focus on spatial optimization, dosimetric accuracy, and radiobiological effectiveness in localized cancer treatment.
