This article reports on the efforts of the University of Rochester Medical Center doctors to use mathematical equations to improve brachytherapy, a common treatment for prostate cancer. In this procedure, several dozen radioactive particles are implanted into the prostate. In a few weeks, these so-...

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...

Reports on the use of radioactive seeds in treating prostate cancer called brachytherapy. First use of the procedure in 1911; Development of the procedure in the 1970s; Radioisotopes used as seeds; Theory behind the procedure; Studies on the topic; Best candidates for radiation implants; Protocol...
Brachytherapy is typically an outpatient procedure where tiny radioactive "seeds" are implanted in the prostate to eradicate the cancer right where it has grown. Brachytherapy has a long and proven track record with data demonstrating it ... PF Orio,KA Crouse,PL Nguyen,... 被引量: 0发表: ...
An algorithm has been developed in this paper to localize implanted radioactive seeds in 3D ultrasound images for a dynamic intraoperative brachytherapy procedure. Segmentation of the seeds is difficult, due to their small, size in relatively low quality of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images. In ...
Treatment of early stage prostate cancer by transperineal interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy (TIPPB) is a common and minimally invasive procedure. It is estimated that in 1999 over 30,000 men in the U.S. were treated with this modality1. The American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) ...

Lead author Rebecca Baker (UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging) said, "Using an MRI scanner to deliver a therapy in this way allows the therapeutic seed and the tumor to be imaged throughout the procedure, ensuring the treatment is delivered with precision and without having to perform ...
