Real-time tracking of the radiation source during HDR brachytherapy can enhance treatment verification capabilities. Recent developments in source tracking allow for measurement of dwell times and source positions with high accuracy. However, more clinically relevant information, such as dose discrepancies, is still needed. To address this, a real-time dose calculation implementation was developed to provide more relevant information from source tracking data. A proof-of-principle of the developed tool was shown using source tracking data obtained from a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom. <jats:italic>Approach.<\/jats:italic> Software was developed to calculate dose-volume-histograms (DVH) and clinical dose metrics from experimental HDR prostate treatment source tracking data, measured in a realistic pelvic phantom. Uncertainty estimation was performed using repeat measurements to assess the inherent dose measuring uncertainty of the <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> dosimetry (IVD) system. Using a novel approach, the measurement uncertainty can be incorporated in the dose calculation, and used for evaluation of cumulative dose and clinical dose-volume metrics after every dwell position, enabling real-time treatment verification. <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic> The dose calculated from source tracking measurements aligned with the generated uncertainty bands, validating the approach. Simulated shifts of 3 mm in 5\/17 needles in a single plan caused DVH deviations beyond the uncertainty bands, indicating errors occurred during treatment. Clinical dose-volume metrics could be monitored in a time-resolved approach, enabling early detection of treatment plan deviations and prediction of their impact on the final dose that will be delivered in real-time. <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic> Integrating dose calculation with source tracking enhances the clinical relevance of IVD methods. Phantom measurements show that the developed tool aids in tracking treatment progress, detecting errors in real-time and post-treatment evaluation. In addition, it could be used to define patient-specific action limits and error thresholds, while taking the uncertainty of the measurement system into consideration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ad580e","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]],"date-time":"2024-06-13T22:50:28Z","timestamp":1718319028000},"page":"135006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Time-resolved clinical dose volume metrics, calculations and predictions based on source tracking measurements and uncertainties to aid treatment verification and error detection for HDR brachytherapy\u2014a proof-of-principle study"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"69","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5642-510X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Teun","family":"van Wagenberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Voncken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celine","family":"van Beveren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maaike","family":"Berbee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evert","family":"van Limbergen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8470-386X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank","family":"Verhaegen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8087-1193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Paiva Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbad580ebib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"765","DOI":"10.1080\/01621459.1954.10501232","article-title":"A test of goodness of fit","volume":"49","author":"Anderson","year":"1954","journal-title":"J.
