Determination
of the diseased tissue region is very crucial for brachytherapy treatment. In
this study, we propose a new 2-channel coil structure that is embedded on a
commercially available HDRT applicator. After MRI imaging of the cervix,
brachytherapy procedure can be carried out as normal without moving the
applicator, which is essential for the correctness of radiation dose
calculations. In-vivo animal experiments have been conducted and good quality
images have been obtained.
