Summary
A novel CT-compatible applicator with movable shields, called MDA(3), which was successfully employed for intracavitary brachytherapy in 15 patients and provides a clinically feasible solution to overcome the limitation of lack of ovoid shields on currently available CT- compatible applicators.
