An image‐guidance system for dynamic dose calculation in prostate brachytherapy using ultrasound and fluoroscopy
Abstract
Brachytherapy is a standard option of care for prostate cancer patients but may be improved by dynamic dose calculation based on localized seed positions. The American Brachytherapy Society states that the major current limitation of intraoperative treatment planning is the inability to localize the seeds in relation to the prostate. An image‐guidance system was therefore developed to localize seeds for dynamic dose calculation.
