Course Description
Brachytherapy machines course,
in this course we will learn about the operation, techniques, and applications of Brachytherapy machines used in internal radiation therapy. The course covers both High-Dose Rate (HDR) and Low-Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy, focusing on their role in treating cancers like prostate, breast, and cervical cancer. Participants will explore how to position radioactive sources accurately using image-guided technologies such as CT and MRI, ensuring precise radiation delivery while minimizing harm to healthy tissues. We will also cover the differences between temporary and permanent implants, automated delivery systems, and essential safety protocols. Maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting techniques will be emphasized to ensure effective and safe operation of the equipment. By the end of the course, learners will have the knowledge and skills to manage Brachytherapy machines confidently in clinical settings.
