Congratulations Maryam Rahbaran, PhD student at the EngerLab McGill Medical Physics on publishing "RapidBrachyIVBT: A dosimetry software for patient-specific intravascular brachytherapy dose calculations on optical coherence tomography images" in Medical Physics. Maryam has developed a Monte Carlo-based dose calculation software, accounting for patient-specific geometry from Optical Coherence Tomography images for intravascular brachytherapy treatments and added this software to our treatment planning system, RapidBrachyMCTPS. This work was a collaboration between McGill University - Medical Physics and radiation oncologists and cardiologists at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA. We thank our collaborators, specially Dr. James Man Git Tsui, Maryam's co-supervisor, and funding from Canada Research Chair Program, Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada and resources from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.

Congratulations Azin Esmaelbeigi PhD candidate at the EngerLab, McGill Medical Physics, and all the co-authors on publishing "E-Brachy: New dosimetry package for electronic brachytherapy sources" in Medical Physics. In this study, a dosimetry software tool called E-Brachy is developed to characterize the Xoft electronic brachytherapy source. The authors thank Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Jewish General Hospital Foundation and Institut TransMedTech for funding this study.

Background Large reported variability in the material composition and geometrical components of the Xoft electronic high-dose-rate brachytherapy Causes inter-source discrepancy in the source output....
