Prostate: Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy

Development of a 3D ultrasound guidance system for permanent breast seed implantation

“…In prostate brachytherapy, the standard delivery method uses a mechanical stabilizer that supports both a transrectal US (TRUS) probe and a coregistered needle template. Coregistration of the template allows projections of the needle template positions to be overlaid on the TRUS images, providing a fixed reference at depth during the procedure . Numerous groups have developed robotic systems to extend the technique to 3D US imaging …”
