Abstract A novel model of the titanium Rotterdam tandem and ovoid applicator is presented. As titanium produces artefacts in MR images, an MR sequence was sought and optimised for visualisation and accurate applicator reconstruction. The mean inter-observer (8 observers) variability for four patients was only 0.7 mm (maximum 1.7 mm).
