Abstract:
Modern brachytherapy has been made possible by advances in ultrasound technology. This technology allows accurate determination of gland size, determination of the relation to the pubic arch, and real-time placement of the radioactive sources. A thorough familiarity with transrectal ultrasonography thus is required to produce high-quality implants consistently.
