Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy has been employed worldwide fo...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
Introduction/Background Over the last 2 decades, significant technical advancements have improved the delivery of prostate brachytherapy. The transrectal ultrasound-guided implant technique is the backbone of modern prostate brachytherapy. Whether it is permanent or temporary, ie, low-dose-rate (LDR) or high-dose-rate (HDR), respectively, both use similar image-guided techniques for inserting s...
