The optimization problem was solved using the fast\u2010iterative shrinkage\u2010thresholding algorithm (FISTA). Two isotopes were considered. The dose rates for the HDR 4140 Ytterbium (Yb\u2010169) source and the Elekta Iridium (Ir\u2010192) HDR Flexisource were modeled according to the TG\u201043U1 formalism and benchmarked accordingly. Twenty\u2010two retrospective HDR prostate brachytherapy patients treated with Ir\u2010192 were considered. An Ir\u2010192 only (IRO), Yb\u2010169 only (YBO), and dual\u2010source (DS) plan with optimized catheter location was created for each patient with\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      catheters, where\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      is the number of catheters used in the clinically delivered plans. The DS plans jointly optimized Yb\u2010169 and Ir\u2010192 dwell times. All plans and the clinical plans were normalized to deliver a 15\u00a0Gy prescription (Rx) dose to 95% of the clinical treatment volume (CTV) and evaluated for the CTV D90%, V150%, and V200%, urethra D0.1cc and D1cc, bladder V75%, and rectum V75%. Dose\u2010volume histograms (DVHs) were generated for each structure.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The DS plans ubiquitously selected Ir\u2010192 as the only treatment source. IRO outperformed YBO in organ at risk (OARs) OAR sparing, reducing the urethra D0.1cc and D1cc by 0.98% () and 1.09% () of the Rx dose, respectively, and reducing the bladder and rectum V75% by 0.09 () and 0.13 cubic centimeters (cc) (), respectively. The YBO plans delivered a more homogenous dose to the CTV, with a smaller V150% and V200% by 3.20 () and 1.91 cc (), respectively, and a lower CTV D90% by 0.49% () of the prescription dose. The IRO plans reduce the urethral D1cc by 2.82% () of the Rx dose compared to the clinical plans, at the cost of increased bladder and rectal V75% by 0.57 () and 0.21 cc (), respectively, and increased CTV V150% by a mean of 1.46 cc () and CTV D90% by an average of 1.40% of the Rx dose (). While these differences are statistically significant, the clinical differences between the plans are minimal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proposed analytical HDR planning algorithm integrates catheter and isotope selection with dwell time optimization for varying clinical goals, including urethra sparing.
