Localization of linked 125I seeds in postimplant TRUS images for prostate brachyther- apy dosimetry. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2005; 62: 9129.J. Xue, F. Waterman, J. Handler, and E. Gressen, "Localization of linked i125 seeds in postimplant TRUS images for prostate brachytherapy...
We compared the implant quality of intraoperatively built custom-linked (IBCL) seeds with loose seeds in permanent prostate brachytherapy. Between June 2012 and January 2015, 64 consecutive prostate cancer patients underwent brachytherapy with IBCL seeds (n = 32) or loose seeds (n = 32). All th...
Postimplant analysis of transperineal interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy: Evidence for a learning curve in the first year at a single institution Purpose: The utilization of transperineal interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy (TIPPB) is increasing in the United States. Quality assessment of...

Conclusions: A shape analysis approach was developed for quantitative characterization of post‐implant seed tracking and the prostate deformation. The advantage over other methods is that the constraints of consistency among different images made our method more reliable than other seed localization ...

Purpose: Optimizing I‐125 prostate implant (I125PI), quality/outcome, and safety; reporting 15 years QA experience. Methods and Materials: Before I125PI, we did PT/PTT coagulation profile screening; CXR, lung disease, scoliosis foreseeing; Catheterization, CT scan (CTs), balloon localization ...
In order to assess the impact of such approaches on the outcome of prostate permanent implant treatment, experimental results, performed with TLD detectors in a prostate phantom of solid water (RW3), and the formalism of the protocol compiled by the Task Group No.43 of the American Association...
Using the interactive visualization and segmentation algorithm, the time required to count the seeds during post- implant dosimetry has been reduced by a factor of 7 compared to the existing manual technique. !7Sayan D. PathakUniv. of Washington...
Patients underwent prostate brachytherapy with 125I seeds. Postimplant radiographs showed that all three patients exhibited seed migration. Patients were scanned in the supine position with a ?-camera.Results:Case 1: A postimplant pelvic radiograph showed a seed that had migrated to the pelvic area...
