title = "Dosimetric variations due to interfraction organ deformation in cervical cancer brachytherapy",
abstract = "We quantitatively estimated dosimetric variations due to interfraction organ deformation in multi-fractionated high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) for cervical cancer using a novel surface-based non-rigid deformable registration. As the number of consecutive HDRBT fractions increased, simple addition of dose–volume histogram parameters significantly overestimated the dose, compared with distribution-based dose addition.",
