Introduction of transperineal image-guided prostate brachytherapy

Jesse N Aronowitz. 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.
