Brachytherapy of the prostate has a history extending back to the early twentieth century. Brachytherapy is a branch of radiation oncology that uses implanted radioactive material, rather than beams, as a source of ionizing radiation to irradiate target tissues. Early sources consisted of metal ...
Objective The clinical utility of image-targeted biopsies can only be judged by a comparison of the current standard of systematic 10–12 core biopsy schemes. The aim of this review was to gather the current evidence in favor of or against targeted biopsies in the detection of prostate cancer ...
Accurate segmentation of the prostate is the key to the success of external beam radiotherapy of prostate cancer. However, accurate segmentation of the prostate in computer tomography (CT) images remains challenging mainly due to three factors: (1) low image contrast between the prostate and its ...
Complications of transrectal ultrasound-guided 12-core prostate biopsy: a single center experience with 2049 patients Currently, transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) systematic prostate biopsy is the standard procedure in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Although TRUS-gui......
The rapid adoption of image-guidance in prostate intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) results in longer treatment times, which may result in larger intrafraction motion, thereby negating the advantage of image-guidance. This study aims to qualify and quantify the contribution of image-guidance to ...
Active surveillance or partial nephrectomy is usually invoked after detection of small renal tumours, but both of these approaches can be onerous for patients who often have an indolent malignancy Diligent image-guided ablation, increasingly by cryoablation, represents a useful, minimally invasive treatmen...
T2-weighted imaging of the prostate: impact of the BLADE technique on image quality and tumor assessment. Abdom Imaging 2015;40:552-9.Rosenkrantz AB, Bennett GL, Doshi A, Deng FM, Babb JS, Taneja SS (2014) T2-weighted imaging of the prostate: impact of the BLADE technique on image ...
The prostate is still largely assessed by random biopsy, but developments in prostate MRI and fusion with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) have made targeted biopsy of the prostate a reality. MRI/TRUS techniques promise to address the issues of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis in prostate cancer....

Twenty‐one fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) of the prostate, diagnostically classified as definitely malignant, were studied. The Papanicolaou or H&E stained samples were destained and then stained for DNA with the Feulgen reaction. DNA cytometry was applied after different sampling rules. Th...
