Optimized Cylindrical Diffuser Powers for Interstitial PDT Breast Cancer Treatment Planning: A Simulation Study

Figure 1

(a) 3D visualization of a tumor node. Node diameter is 3 cm. First CDF is placed vertically along the central diameter; three CDFs are placed vertically at the gravity center of 120° circular sectors. (b) Section of a central slice in the node. Node diameter is 5 cm. First CDF is placed vertically along the central diameter; four CDFs are placed vertically at the gravity center of 90° circular sectors. (c) The tumor node in the breast.
