Introduction of transperineal image-guided prostate brachytherapy
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys.
.
Abstract
The modern prostate brachytherapy procedure is characterized by ultrasound guidance, template assistance, and a return to a "closed" transperineal approach. This review traces the introduction and evolution of these elements and charts the development of the procedure from the ashes of previous, failed efforts.
