The utility of feature line parallelization as the initial step in manual or semi-automatic 3D rigid-body registration of post-implant CT and MR prostate image volumes is investigated. Image data consisted of CT and 1.5T MRI (balanced fast-field echo, Te = 4.8 ms, Tr = 9.6 ms) axial ...
Interviewer Um-hmm. And that applies to the placing of the radioactive seeds as well? Sheldon Marks, MD That applies to anything that involves technical skill, whether it's removing a skin lesion, plastic surgeons, heart surgery, prostate cancer, radioactive seeds. Even the finesse of the do...
prostate brachytherapyLow-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy is a treatment option for low- and mid-risk prostate cancer through introduction of radioactive seeds into the prostate. Seed placement deviations are common and associated with postoperative complications. Dynamic dosimetry is a method to ...

Transperineal permanent iodine-125 seed implantation (PI) for prostate cancer is widely accepted as a standard procedure for treating early-stage prostate cancer [1, 2]. It has shown favorable treatment outcomes [3, 4]. In Japan, treatment with iodine-125 (I-125) was introduced in July 2003...
These findings suggest that NLS has potential for development into a safe and potent alternative therapy for prostate cancer patients. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide, with 1.1 million new cases occurred in 20121. In developed countries, ...
