One of the main method of treating prostate cancer is radiotherapy . Contemporary techniques as IGRT concentrate on proper delivery and exact delineation of the target. We present the simple method of correction the visualisation of gold markers implanted before radiotherapy . In the case when one or two seeds were located imperfectly or were lost with stool or urine we implant additional seeds which create the spatial figure recognised in CT and MRI . Implantation of additional seeds is safe and very simple method which can "rescue" sense of image guided procedure in the case of unfavourable primary fiducial seeds location.
治疗前列腺癌的主要方法之一是放射治疗。像图像引导放射治疗(IGRT)这样的当代技术专注于靶区的准确投照和精确勾画。我们提出了一种简单的方法来校正放疗前植入的金标物的可视化。如果有一两个籽源位置不理想,或者随粪便或尿液丢失,我们会植入额外的籽源,这些籽源会形成在CT和MRI中可识别的空间图形。植入额外的籽源是一种安全且非常简单的方法,在初始基准籽源位置不利的情况下,可以“挽救”图像引导程序的意义。
