Abstract Background Body mass index (BMI) may influence dosimetric outcomes in interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT), but its impact on CT-based ISBT is not well established. Unlike intracavitary brachytherapy, ISBT is strongly dependent on applicator geometry, needle placement, and patient-specific anatomy. These factors suggest that body habitus could affect both target coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) doses, with meaningful clinical implications. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 55 patients wi
