متن کاملA dynamic dosimetry system for prostate brachytherapy
The lack of dynamic dosimetry tools for permanent prostate brachytherapy causes otherwise avoidable problems in prostate cancer patient care. The goal of this work is to satisfy this need in a readily adoptable manner. Using the ubiquitous ultrasound scanner and mobile non-isocentric C-arm, we show that dynamic dosimetry is now possible with only the addition of an arbitrarily configured marker...
متن کاملUltrasound-fluoroscopy registration for prostate brachytherapy dosimetry
Prostate brachytherapy is a treatment for prostate cancer using radioactive seeds that are permanently implanted in the prostate. The treatment success depends on adequate coverage of the target gland with a therapeutic dose, while sparing the surrounding tissue. Since seed implantation is performed under transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging, intraoperative localization of the seeds in ultraso...
متن کاملInfluence of body mass index and periprostatic fat on rectal dosimetry in permanent seed prostate brachytherapy
PURPOSE We examined the influence of body mass index (BMI) and body fat distribution on rectal dose in patients treated with permanent seed brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS We analyzed 213 patients treated with I125 seed brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. BMI and rectal dosimetry data for all patients were available. Data on visceral and subcutaneou...
متن کاملEffect of constipation on dosimetry after permanent seed brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
PURPOSE A major concern in prostate brachytherapy is rectal toxicity, which mainly depends on the dose and volume of rectum involved by radiation. We hypothesize that the rectal distension, as produced by constipation, influences the dosimetric parameters of the rectum and other pelvic organs. MATERIAL AND METHODS An open, controlled, prospective, paired trial (pre-post test) was designed and...
