It is difficult to reproduce a brachytherapy measurement because of changes in the rectal shape during inter-fraction. We constructed a multi-purpose brachytherapy phantom (MPBP) and reproduced the same conditions found in actual therapy. We further attempted to apply the measured optimal dose to reduce rectal complications.
