  • Intraoperative dynamic dosimetry for prostate implants
    Publication number: 20040092786
    Abstract: A method for treating a prostate gland comprises the steps of implanting therapeutic seeds in the prostate gland of a patient; imaging the implanted seeds with an imaging probe; calculating the three-dimensional locations of the implanted seeds and measuring the dosimetry of the implanted seeds; calculating optimal locations for additional seeds to provide an optimal post-implant dosimetric measurement; and implanting additional seeds in the optimal locations. The method may implement computer hardware and software.
