Interstitial HDR breast

Task Group 186 provides guidance for commissioning model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) in brachytherapy treatment planning systems. TG-186 recommends a two-level commissioning approach, including comparison of absolute dose and 3D dose distributions against reference calculations.

This dataset corresponds to a computational patient phantom model generated from a clinical multi-catheter 192Ir HDR breast brachytherapy case.

Note: This dataset was originally hosted on the IROC platform, as described in the user guide. The files uploaded to Zenodo (version 1) are identical to those previously available from IROC and were transferred without modification to ensure full traceability and continuity with the original reference dataset. The only exception is the Elekta user guide, which was not available in the original repository.
